is sin sin

Are all sins equal? Depends on context. In one context, no. There is a class distinction between sexual sins (porneian) and “every other sin” (pan hamartema). Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 6:18, “Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.” In this context, all sins are not equal.
