Sins mentioned in the Bible - 30

Making unrighteous laws

Isaiah 10:1 

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees,

Injustice

Isaiah 10:2 

To deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.

Hypocrisy 

Isaiah 9:17 

Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

Matthew 6:1-8 

1 “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 

3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 

4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Please read Matthew 23:1-33
