'In Sin' in the Bible

Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.

Even now they persist in sin! They make metal images for themselves, idols that they skillfully fashion from their own silver; all of them are nothing but the work of craftsmen! There is a saying about them: "Those who sacrifice to the calf idol are calf kissers!"

They replied, "You were born completely in sinfulness, and yet you presume to teach us?" So they threw him out.

What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?

for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.
