Sin Quotes
-
We ourselves, though we're guilty of every sin, are not just a work of God: we're image. Yet we have cut ourselves off from our Creator in both soul and body. Did we get eyes to serve lust, the tongue to speak evil, ears to hear evil, a throat for gluttony, a stomach to be gluttony's ally, hands to do violence, genitals for unchaste excesses, feet for an erring life? Was the soul put in the body to think up traps, fraud, and injustice? I don't think so.
Tertullian
-
It is not enough simply to try to resist evil or empty our lives of sin. We must also fill our lives with righteousness.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
Don't let a little sin in; all hell will break loose.
Adrian Rogers
-
Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To be less than your best is a sin.
Oprah Winfrey
-
Prayer cleanses from sin, drives away temptations, stamps out persecutions, comforts the fainthearted, gives new strength to the courageous, brings travellers safely home, calms the waves, confounds robbers, feeds the poor, overrules the rich, lifts up the fallen, supports those who are falling, sustains those who stand firm.
Tertullian
-
Through tattered clothes great vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it.
William Shakespeare

Max Lerner
-
Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.
Randy Alcorn
-
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
William Shakespeare
-
HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.
J. C. Ryle
-
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
-
When God saves us through Christ, He not only saves us from the penalty of sin, but also from its dominion.
Jerry Bridges
