Bible Verses About Sin (1)

For they sow the wind, so they will reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no ears, so it will yield no flour; and if it does yield any, foreigners will swallow it up.

You have plowed wickedness, reaped iniquity and eaten the fruit of lies. Because you trusted in your own way, in your large numbers of warriors,

Efrayim has given bitter provocation, so the penalty for his bloodshed will be thrown down on him, and his Lord will repay him for his insult.

It is your destruction, Isra'el, although your help is in me.

The earth will be desolate for those living in it, as a result of their deeds.

For from within, out of a person's heart, come forth wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

“At last he came to his senses and said, ‘Any number of my father’s hired workers have food to spare; and here I am, starving to death!

I’m going to get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you;

I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired workers.” ’

His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son — ’

Here is how it works: it was through one individual that sin entered the world, and through sin, death; and in this way death passed through to the whole human race, inasmuch as everyone sinned.

Sin was indeed present in the world before Torah was given, but sin is not counted as such when there is no Torah.

Nevertheless death ruled from Adam until Moshe, even over those whose sinning was not exactly like Adam’s violation of a direct command. In this, Adam prefigured the one who was to come.

But the free gift is not like the offence. For if, because of one man’s offence, many died, then how much more has God’s grace, that is, the gracious gift of one man, Yeshua the Messiah, overflowed to many!

No, the free gift is not like what resulted from one man’s sinning; for from one sinner came judgment that brought condemnation; but the free gift came after many offences and brought acquittal.

For if, because of the offence of one man, death ruled through that one man; how much more will those receiving the overflowing grace, that is, the gift of being considered righteous, rule in life through the one man Yeshua the Messiah!

In other words, just as it was through one offence that all people came under condemnation, so also it is through one righteous act that all people come to be considered righteous.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man, many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the other man, many will be made righteous.

And the Torah came into the picture so that the offence would proliferate; but where sin proliferated, grace proliferated even more.

All this happened so that just as sin ruled by means of death, so also grace might rule through causing people to be considered righteous, so that they might have eternal life, through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord.

For when we were living according to our old nature, the passions connected with sins worked through the Torah in our various parts, with the result that we bore fruit for death.
