Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; indeed, sin is lawlessness.

and because lawlessness will increase so much, the love of many will grow cold.

“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

then he says, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’

In the same way, on the outside you look righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way,

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers.

He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. So God, your God, has anointed you over your companions with the oil of rejoicing.”

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.
