Those who put on the appearance of righteous men are more sinful than the unrighteous. They will have to undergo great miseries. Sinning and evil have become so much a habit with man that he never feels that he is committing them, even though day and night he is doing so constantly. Think not lightly of sin. Just as a pot is filled with water by the constant falling of drops of water, even so, the ignorant man fills himself with evil and sin little by little.
Sin is willful violation of the laws of morality and religion.
It is transgression of the Law of God. Vice issues as sins and crimes. Vice is a stain of character. It is a flaw of character. It is a blemish or fault.
