As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.1 Timothy 5:22 · ἁμαρτίαιςDo not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.1 Timothy 5:24 · ἁμαρτίαιThe sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.2 Timothy 3:6 · ἁμαρτίαις,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,Hebrews 1:3 · ἁμαρτιῶνThe 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.Hebrews 2:17 · ἁμαρτίαςFor 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.Hebrews 3:13 · ἁμαρτίας·But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.Hebrews 4:15 · ἁμαρτίας.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.Hebrews 5:1 · ἁμαρτιῶν,Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.Hebrews 5:3 · ἁμαρτιῶν.That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.Hebrews 7:27 · ἁμαρτιῶνUnlike 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.Hebrews 8:12 · ἁμαρτιῶνFor I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”Hebrews 9:26 · ἁμαρτίαςOtherwise, 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.Hebrews 9:28 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαςso 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.Hebrews 10:2 · ἁμαρτιῶνIf 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.Hebrews 10:3 · ἁμαρτιῶνInstead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,Hebrews 10:4 · ἁμαρτίας.¶because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Hebrews 10:6 · ἁμαρτίαςIn burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.Hebrews 10:8 · ἁμαρτίαςIn 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).Hebrews 10:11 · ἁμαρτίας·Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.Hebrews 10:12 · ἁμαρτιῶνBut when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.Hebrews 10:17 · ἁμαρτιῶνThen He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”Hebrews 10:18 · ἁμαρτίας.¶And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.Hebrews 10:26 · ἁμαρτιῶνIf we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,Hebrews 11:25 · ἁμαρτίαςHe chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.Hebrews 12:1 · ἁμαρτίαν,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.Hebrews 12:4 · ἁμαρτίανIn your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.Hebrews 13:11 · ἁμαρτίαςAlthough the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.James 1:15 · ἁμαρτίαν, · ἁμαρτίαThen after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.James 2:9 · ἁμαρτίανBut if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.James 4:17 · ἁμαρτίαAnyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.James 5:15 · ἁμαρτίαςAnd 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.James 5:16 · ἁμαρτίαςTherefore 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.James 5:20 · ἁμαρτιῶν.¶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.1 Peter 2:22 · ἁμαρτίαν“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”1 Peter 2:24 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαιςHe 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.”1 Peter 3:18 · ἁμαρτιῶνFor 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,1 Peter 4:1 · ἁμαρτίας·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.1 Peter 4:8 · ἁμαρτιῶν.Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.2 Peter 2:14 · ἁμαρτίας,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.1 John 1:7 · ἁμαρτίας.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.1 John 1:8 · ἁμαρτίανIf we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.1 John 1:9 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαςIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1 John 2:2 · ἁμαρτιῶνHe Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.1 John 2:12 · ἁμαρτίαιI am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven through His name.1 John 3:4 · ἁμαρτίαν · ἁμαρτίαEveryone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.1 John 3:5 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαBut you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.1 John 3:8 · ἁμαρτίανThe 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.1 John 3:9 · ἁμαρτίανAnyone 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.1 John 4:10 · ἁμαρτιῶνAnd 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.1 John 5:16 · ἁμαρτίαν · ἁμαρτίαIf 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.1 John 5:17 · ἁμαρτία · ἁμαρτίαAll unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.Revelation 1:5 · ἁμαρτιῶνand 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,Revelation 18:4 · ἁμαρτίαιςThen 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.Revelation 18:5 · ἁμαρτίαιFor her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
