Sin

Sin is what you do or neglect to do that increases the distance between you and God and you and others. Short-term sin may seem like a good idea. Long-term sin is never a good idea. Sin, sometimes slowly and sometimes rapidly, destroys the core of the sinner. Paul pretty much says the same thing: “The wages of sin is death.” –Romans 6:23

“Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful.” –Benjamin Franklin 

She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more. –John 8:11 

“Should we all confess our sins to one another we would all laugh at one another for our lack of originality.” -Kahlil Gibran 

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. –James 4:17 

“Sin is whatever obscures the soul.” –Andre Gide 

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. –Matthew 5:28 

“Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.” –Henry Ward Beecher 

As our sin increases; God’s grace increases even more. –Romans 5:21 

“Men are not punished for their sins, but by them.” –Elbert Hubbard
