Examples of sins in the new covenant

Below are some examples of SINS in the new covenant:

An example of SIN can be everything which is not out-of faith, as Paul wrote: "the (one) doubting has-been-condemned if he-eats, because (it was) not out-of faith — and EVERYTHING WHICH (IS) NOT OUT-OF FAITH IS SIN" (Romans 14:23).

An example of SIN can be to show favoritism to people (because of their appearance for example), especially in the context of loving others, as James wrote that if "“You-shall-love your neighbor as yourself”, you-are-doing well. But IF YOU-ARE-SHOWING-FAVORITISM-TO-PEOPLE YOU-ARE-WORKING (A) SIN" (James 2:8-9).

An example of SIN can be knowing to be doing good and not doing it, as James wrote: "(TO ONE) KNOWING TO-BE-DOING GOOD AND NOT DOING (IT, TO) HIM IT-IS (A) SIN" (James 4:17).

An example of SIN can be all unrighteousness, as it is written in 1 John: "ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS [adikia 93 in Greek] IS SIN" (1 John 5:17). Paul described unrighteous people according to what they practice in the following way: "do-you not know that UNRIGHTEOUS [adikoi 94 in Greek] (ones) will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be-deceived. Neither SEXUALLY-IMMORAL (ones), nor IDOLATERS, nor ADULTERERS, nor (HOMO-)PASSIVE(-MALE-PARTNERS), nor (HOMOSEXUALS-)MALE-BED(ERS), nor THIEVES, nor GREEDY (ones) — not DRUNKARDS , not REVILERS, not SWINDLERS — will-inherit (the) kingdom (of) God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The "SEXUALLY-IMMORAL (ones)" (1 Corinthians 6:9) would be committing sexual immorality, which Paul indicated in the same chapter that they would be sinning when doing so, as Paul wrote: "the (one) COMMITTING-SEXUAL-IMMORALITY IS-SINNING" (1 Corinthians 6:18).
