Hear, O God. Alas, for man's sin! So saith man, and Thou pitiest him; for Thou madest him, but sin is in him Thou madest not. Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy? for in Thy sight none is pure from sin, not even the infant whose life is but a day upon the earth.
ST. AUGUSTINE

What do you do when that sin is a part of who you are?
DANIELLE HILBORN
"Hate the sinner", Daily Californian, September 1, 2017
Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH
"Dread Jehova, God of Nations"
Look on Sin and loathe it;
With minds loathing it,
Then will ye make
An end of Misery.
GAUTAMA BUDDHA
Iti-Vuttaka
Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.
RICHARD BAXTER
The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter
The malignity of sin does, in time, vitiate the principles of Nature; and the sinner comes to live entirely by sense and passion, who has been wont to put a violence upon judgment, reason, and conscience.
BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE
Moral and Religious Aphorisms
I am a man
More sinn'd against than sinning.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
King Lear
When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil.
MARY SHELLEY
Frankenstein
I think I ought to confess sin the moment I see it to be sin; whether I am in company or in study, or even preaching, the soul ought to cast a glance of abhorrence at the sin. If I go on with the duty, leaving the sin unconfessed, I go on with a burdened conscience, and add sin to sin.
ROBERT MURRAY M'CHEYNE
The Life and Remains, Letters, Lectures, and Poems of the Rev Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have been steadfast in our belief that sin is a violation of God's holy standard and cannot simply be excused. Because God is holy and just, He can't overlook sin and simply pardon His people. Jesus had to suffer, be separated from God the Father, and die for each and every sin committed by his people.
JOHN ELLIS
"Christians Need to Stop Defending Racism with 'Whataboutism'", PJ Media, August 19, 2017
If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.... Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
JESUS
John 8:31-32, 34-36
And when I fall, the first time especially, what a light I have on myself! I thought I was strong, that gross temptation would not move me, that I would be faithful in all sorts of environment. I am down--in the dirt--I know myself now! But I know God, too, as I did not before, now I know the radiance of the shadowless light, I know now what sin is.
CARYLL HOUSELANDER
This War is the Passion
Most sins ... are only perverted virtues.
JOHN DANIEL BARRY
"Perquisites of Sin", Intimations
The world of sin faces the world of grace like the reflected image of a landscape on the edge of a dark, deep stretch of water.
GEORGES BERNANOS
The Diary of a Country Priest
God's whole nature moves toward the man who wants to be free from sin, as broadly and irresistibly as the summer moves from the south toward the north.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Sin is absence of God. Nothing more, nothing less.
SIMON MAWER
The Gospel of Judas
Virtue!--to be good and just--
Every heart, when sifted well,
Is a clot of warmer dust,
Mix'd with cunning sparks of hell.
ALFRED TENNYSON
The Vision of Sin
No sinners are so intolerant as those that have just turned saints.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Only those who are truly aware of their sin can truly cherish grace.
C. J. MAHANEY
The Cross-Centered Life
Sin is the rebellion of man's will against God's.
ROBERT HUGH BENSON
Lord of the World
