"If you had been blind," replied Jesus, "you would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, you say 'We can see,' and so your sin remains.
The servant who knows his master's wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, while every one who humbles himself shall be exalted."
Remember, if we sin willfully after we have gained a full knowledge of the Truth, there can be no further sacrifice for sin;
He, then, who knows what is right but fails to do it--that is sin in him.
