She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”

Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

to give to His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

He went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’

But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”

Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for she has loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

But those at the table began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”

“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?

and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,

God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’

Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.

Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.

So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!

Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?

But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

But if you do marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

However, if someone thinks he is acting inappropriately toward his betrothed, and if she is beyond her youth and they ought to marry, let him do as he wishes; he is not sinning; they should get married.

By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.

But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.

They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,

knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.

Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,

because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them deep into hell, placing them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.

Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.

But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.

No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.

The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.

Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.

All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.

We know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning; the One who was born of God protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.

For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
