'Sinners' in the Bible

And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your fathers’ place adding even more to the Lord’s burning anger against Israel.

BOOK I(Psalms 1–41)How happy is the manwho does not follow the advice of the wickedor take the path of sinnersor join a group of mockers!

Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment,and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.

You sinners frustrate the plans of the afflicted,but the Lord is his refuge.

The Lord is good and upright;therefore He shows sinners the way.

Do not destroy me along with sinners,or my life along with men of bloodshed

Then I will teach the rebellious Your ways,and sinners will return to You.

May sinners vanish from the earthand wicked people be no more.My soul, praise Yahweh!Hallelujah!

My son, if sinners entice you,don’t be persuaded.

Disaster pursues sinners,but good rewards the righteous.

Don’t let your heart envy sinners;instead, always fear the Lord.

But both rebels and sinners will be destroyed,and those who abandon the Lord will perish.

Look, the day of the Lord is coming—cruel, with rage and burning anger—to make the earth a desolationand to destroy the sinners on it.

The sinners in Zion are afraid;trembling seizes the ungodly:“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames?”

All the sinners among My peoplewho say: “Disaster will never overtakeor confront us,”will die by the sword.

While He was reclining at the table in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came as guests to eat with Jesus and His disciples.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the time is near. The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

While He was reclining at the table in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also guests with Jesus and His disciples, because there were many who were following Him.

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

When Jesus heard this, He told them, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do need one. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to His disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.

And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

All the tax collectors and sinners were approaching to listen to Him.

And the Pharisees and scribes were complaining, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them!”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!

For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

We who are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners”

But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ then a promoter of sin? Absolutely not!

This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them.

For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!
