Jesus replied, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty; but, as it is, you claim to have sight — and so your sin remains."
I tell you, he went home accepted by God rather than the other man; for everyone who uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted."
For if we sin deliberately, after receiving the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left,
The servant who knew his lord and master's orders and did not prepare for them, will receive many lashes;
[follows 2:26] Whoever, then, knows what is right to do and does not do it, that is a sin for him.
