When you're lying like a tart
Oh sin in my heart
When you grovel at my feet
Oh sin in my heart
It's short and sweet

"Sin in My Heart"
God planteth in mortal men the cause of sin whensoever he wills utterly to destroy a house.
AESCHYLUS
fragment, Niobe
So sin is a theological concept -- it is fundamentally about our relationship with God. Sin distances us from God and the life God intends for us.
JEFFREY HEYDEN-KAYE

Repentance is but want of power to sin.
JOHN DRYDEN

The wages of sin are unreported.

If you are going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy. God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't.
HYMAN G. RICKOVER
The New York Times, November 3, 1986
A sin is wrong not because it makes you feel bad--though it should--but because it is wrong.

The Sunrise Lands

There was no point in waiting until the next world. You had to do everything now, every kind of sin.

Memnoch the Devil
The damage a man does to another, he may make amends for by restitution or recompense, but sin cannot be taken away by recompense, for that were to make the liberty to sin a thing vendible. But sins may be pardoned to the repentent either gratis or upon such penalty as God is pleased to accept.

He that wrongs any creature, sins against God, the creator.
BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE

Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.
PHILIP YANCEY
attributed, Jesus Now: Unveiling the Present-Day Ministry of Christ
But the trail of the serpent is over them all.
THOMAS MOORE
Lalla Rookh
Sin first is pleasing, then frequent, then habitual, then confirmed; then the man is impenitent, then he is obstinate, then he is resolved never to repent, and then he is ruined.
ROBERT LEIGHTON
attributed, Day's Collacon
You know some religious scholars believe that when faced with overwhelming temptation you should commit a small sin just to relieve the pressure a bit.
BREE DESPAIN
The Dark Divine
Sin in its ordinary progress first deceives, next hardens, and then destroys.
JOHN THORNTON
Maxims and Directions for Youth
Sin is the exact opposite of love. Love means harmony; sin, discord. Love is constructive; sin, destructive. Love clings to God as a Father, as Jesus did. Sin would murder God if it could, as it murdered Jesus on Calvary.
REUEN THOMAS
Thoughts for the Thoughtful
Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.
JOHN R. RICE
The Ruin of a Christian
When deep slumber falls, remembered sins
Chafe the sore heart with fresh pain, and no
Welcome wisdom meets within.
AESCHYLUS
