Everything that is wrong is sin, but not all sins are deadly.
Everyone who sins breaks God's law, because sin is the same as breaking God's law.
Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and this person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly.
Our desires make us sin, and when sin is finished with us, it leaves us dead.
My children, I am writing this so you won't sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us.
I, the Lord, invite you to come and talk it over. Your sins are scarlet red, but they will be whiter than snow or wool.
Obey all the laws and teachings I am giving you. Don't add any, and don't take any away.
Israel, you must carefully obey the Lord's commands.
