If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin: but now they have no cover for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

See a man wise in his own eyes? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you say, I have not sinned.

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
