But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.1 Timothy 5:22 · ἁμαρτίαιςLay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men’s sins. Keep yourself pure.1 Timothy 5:24 · ἁμαρτίαιSome men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.2 Timothy 3:6 · ἁμαρτίαις,For some of these are people who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,Hebrews 1:3 · ἁμαρτιῶνHis Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Hebrews 2:17 · ἁμαρτίαςTherefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.Hebrews 3:13 · ἁμαρτίας·but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today;” lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.Hebrews 4:15 · ἁμαρτίας.For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.Hebrews 5:1 · ἁμαρτιῶν,For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.Hebrews 5:3 · ἁμαρτιῶν.Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.Hebrews 7:27 · ἁμαρτιῶνwho doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people.

If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.James 5:16 · ἁμαρτίαςConfess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.James 5:20 · ἁμαρτιῶν.¶let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.1 Peter 2:22 · ἁμαρτίανwho did not sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”1 Peter 2:24 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαιςwho his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.1 Peter 3:18 · ἁμαρτιῶνBecause Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;1 Peter 4:1 · ἁμαρτίας·Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;1 Peter 4:8 · ἁμαρτιῶν.And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.2 Peter 2:14 · ἁμαρτίας,having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;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 Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.1 John 1:8 · ἁμαρτίανIf we say that 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 righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1 John 2:2 · ἁμαρτιῶνAnd he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.1 John 2:12 · ἁμαρτίαιI write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.1 John 3:4 · ἁμαρτίαν · ἁμαρτίαEveryone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.1 John 3:5 · ἁμαρτίας · ἁμαρτίαYou know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.1 John 3:8 · ἁμαρτίανHe who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.1 John 3:9 · ἁμαρτίανWhoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.1 John 4:10 · ἁμαρτιῶνIn this is love, 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 sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.1 John 5:17 · ἁμαρτία · ἁμαρτίαAll unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.Revelation 1:5 · ἁμαρτιῶνand from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;Revelation 18:4 · ἁμαρτίαιςI heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues,Revelation 18:5 · ἁμαρτίαιfor her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.
