Bible verses about Sin

The Bible is honest about sin so it can be lavish about grace. These verses diagnose the human condition and announce its cure.

17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

27The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

17For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

23Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.

24Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.

2And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

8Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.
