Someone can commit more sins than someone else, as it may be implied in the following passage: "And having-turned toward the woman, He-said (to) Simon, “Do-you-see this woman?" (Luke 7:44) "her MANY SINS have-been-forgiven, because she-loved much. BUT he (to) whom LITTLE is-forgiven, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Someone can have many sins or a little (not many) sins.
