They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not come and spoken to them; as it is, they no longer have any excuse for their sin.

They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not done among them the things that no one else ever did; as it is, they have seen what I did, and they hate both me and my Father.

The most stupid fool is better off than those who think they are wise when they are not.

You are doomed! You think you are wise, so very clever.

you say, 'I am innocent; surely the LORD is no longer angry with me.' But I, the LORD, will punish you because you deny that you have sinned.

"The servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready and do it, will be punished with a heavy whipping.

I tell you," said Jesus, "the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great."

For there is no longer any sacrifice that will take away sins if we purposely go on sinning after the truth has been made known to us.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make a liar out of God, and his word is not in us.
