Luke 12:47-48
12:47 That
servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or do what his master asked
will receive a severe beating.
12:48 But the one who did not know his master’s will
and did things worthy of punishment
will receive a light beating.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be required,
and from the one who has been entrusted with much,
even more will be asked.
John 9:41
9:41 Jesus replied,

your guilt
remains.”

these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
John 15:22
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.
But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
Romans 1:20-21
1:20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people
are without excuse.
1:21 For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts
were darkened.
Romans 1:32
1:32 Although they fully know
God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 2:17-23
The Condemnation of the Jew
2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God
2:18 and know his will and approve the superior things because you receive instruction from the law,
2:19 and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
2:20 an educator of the senseless, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the essential features of knowledge and of the truth –
2:21 therefore you who teach someone else, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
2:22 You who tell others not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
2:23 You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!
Romans 7:13
7:13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
