11新约以两种方式用到“罪”这个字，就是单数的罪（sin）和复数的罪行（sins）。新约告诉我们，基督为我们的罪与罪行死在十字架上。约翰福音一章二十九节说：“看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽（Sin）的。”哥林多前书十五章三节保罗说：“我当日所领受又传给你们首要的事，就是基督照圣经所说，为我们的罪（sins）死了。”（恢复版。）彼得也告诉我们，基督为我们的罪死了：“祂亲身担当了我们的罪（sins），被挂在木头上，使我们既然向着罪（sins）死了，就得以向着义活着。”（彼前二24，恢复版。）彼得前书三章十八节继续说：“因基督也曾一次为罪（sins）受死，就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。”（恢复版。）希伯来书九章说到罪与罪行。二十六节论到基督，说：“祂…显现…把自己献为祭，好除掉罪（sin）。”二十八节说：“像这样，基督既然一次被献，担当了多人的罪（sins）；将来要向那等候祂的人第二次显现，并与罪（sin）无关，乃是为拯救他们。”因此、在新约里，罪与罪行是有区别的。
11In the New Testament the word sin is used in two ways, in the singular (sin) and in the plural (sins). The New Testament tells us that Christ died on the cross both for our sin and for our sins. John 1:29 says, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” In 1 Corinthians 15:3 Paul says, “For I delivered to you, among the first things, that which also I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.” Peter also tells us that Christ died for our sins: “Who Himself carried up our sins in His body onto the tree, in order that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness” (1 Pet. 2:24). In 1 Peter 3:18 he goes on to say, “Because Christ also has once died concerning sins, the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God.” Chapter nine of Hebrews speaks of both sin and sins. Referring to Christ, verse 26 says, “He has been manifested for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice.” Verse 28 says, “So Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those who wait for Him a second time, apart from sin, unto salvation.” Therefore, in the New Testament, there is a distinction between sin and sins.
