John 8:34
King James Version
34 Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
How man denies it so.
This acknowledgment of sin.
Wherein he thinks he is worldly and wise.
Precisely the cause of his personal downfall.
There is the original sin, and the unforgivable sin,
And yet the Bible has much more to say about sin.
As in these verses:
Genesis 4:4-7
King James Version
4 And Abel,
he also brought of the firstlings of his flock
and of the fat thereof.
And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth,
and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain,
Why art thou wroth?
and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well,
shalt thou not be accepted?
and if thou doest not well,
sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire,
and thou shalt rule over him.
Exodus 20:2-5
King James Version
2 I am the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate me;
1 Samuel 8:7-8
King James Version
7 And the Lord said unto Samuel,
Hearken unto the voice of the people
in all that they say unto thee:
for they have not rejected thee,
but they have rejected me,
that I should not reign over them.
8 According to all the works which they have done
since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt
even unto this day,
wherewith they have forsaken me,
and served other gods,
so do they also unto thee.
Proverbs 6:16-19
King James Version
16 These six things doth the Lord hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look,
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies,
and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Matthew 5:28
King James Version
28 But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mark 7:20-23
King James Version
20 And he said,
That which cometh out of the man,
that defileth the man.
21 For from within,
out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy,
pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within,
and defile the man.
John 8:44-45
King James Version
44 Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not.
Romans 7:23
King James Version
23 But I see another law in my members,
warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members.
Romans 14:23
King James Version
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat,
because he eateth not of faith:
for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
King James Version
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:18
King James Version
18 Flee fornication.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body.
Ephesians 2:1-3
King James Version
2 And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation
in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
Colossians 3:5-6
King James Version
5 Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence, and covetousness,
which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God
cometh on the children of disobedience:
2 Timothy 3:1-7
King James Version
3 This know also,
that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers,
false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,
and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning,
and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth.
Hebrews 10:26-27
King James Version
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for
of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the adversaries.
James 1:14-15
King James Version
14 But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived,
it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death.
James 4:4
King James Version
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God.
James 4:17
King James Version
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good,
and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
1 John 5:17
King James Version
17 All unrighteousness is sin:
and there is a sin not unto death.
Revelation 21:8
King James Version
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.
Next post is the GUIDE against sin.
