Sin

“All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Rom. 3:23.

“Look at the state man is really in as regards the trust he puts in man rather than God. If his neighbour should ask him to do anything, though his conscience may tell him God hates what his neighbour wants him to do, still, rather than disoblige his companion, he will sin against God.”

“Sinning and religiousness go on together. … Where the power of godliness is not, nearness to godly things is only the more dangerous.”
