sin

I realize that popular culture there is little to no concept of "sin".

"Sin is not 'in' ".

There's just a lack of belief that there is something so out of sync with the cosmos that would be truly objectionable.

We're all "living our own truth" which gives us total license to be & do whatever feels good or right for ourselves.

Being that as it may, here's what Paul had to say about "sin"...



Romans 6:23


For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)


For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Amplified)


When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives his people a free gift—eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (ERV)


For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (ESV)


Sin pays its servants: the wage is death. But God gives to those who serve him: his free gift is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (J B Phillips)


Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master. (The Message)


You get what is coming to you when you sin. It is death! But God’s free gift is life that lasts forever. It is given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. (NLV)


The payoff for a life of sin is death, but God is offering us a free gift—eternal life through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, the Liberating King. (The Voice)


The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us. (WE)
