Yahweh sees it quite differently. "Sin" means "to miss the mark." In this case, it is missing the mark of holiness and righteousness, which Yahweh requires of us: "Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt. 5:48); "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet. 1:16).

He walked around his soon-to-be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service. Only three people said "Hello" to him, most looked the other way. He asked people for change to buy food because he was hungry. Not one gave him anything.

This is seen in a number of ways:

Therefore, it is important that we examine the verses leading up to this passage as they reveal that Paul is reflecting on the problem of evil and suffering in our world since the beginning.

There is only one true God (Deut. 6:4; Is. 45:5 7; Ps. 90:2; John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:4) and we ought to use His Name so that others know of Whom we are talking.
