1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

πάντες γὰρ ἥμαρτον καὶ ὑστεροῦνται τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
כִּי אָדָם אֵין צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה-טּוֹב וְלֹא יֶחֱטָֽא׃
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
כֻּלָּנוּ כַּצֹּאן תָּעִינוּ אִישׁ לְדַרְכּוֹ פָּנִינוּ וַֽיהוָה הִפְגִּיעַ בּוֹ אֵת עֲוֹן כֻּלָּֽנוּ׃
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
ὁ λέγων Ἔγνωκα αὐτόν καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ μὴ τηρῶν ψεύστης ἐστίν καὶ ἐν τούτῳ ἡ ἀλήθεια οὐκ ἔστιν·
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
מָֽה-אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי-יִזְכֶּה וְכִֽי-יִצְדַּק יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
מִֽי-יֹאמַר זִכִּיתִי לִבִּי טָהַרְתִּי מֵחַטָּאתִֽי׃
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι οὐχ ἡμαρτήκαμεν ψεύστην ποιοῦμεν αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
וַנְּהִי כַטָּמֵא כֻּלָּנוּ וּכְבֶגֶד עִדִּים כָּל-צִדְקֹתֵינוּ וַנָּבֶל כֶּֽעָלֶה כֻּלָּנוּ וַעֲוֺנֵנוּ כָּרוּחַ יִשָּׂאֻֽנוּ׃
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
εἰ γὰρ δοκεῖ τις εἶναί τι μηδὲν ὤν ἑαυτόν φρεναπατᾷ
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
וְאַל-תָּבוֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט אֶת-עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי לֹֽא-יִצְדַּק לְפָנֶיךָ כָל-חָֽי׃
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Εἴ τις δοκεῖ θρησκὸς εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν μὴ χαλιναγωγῶν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ ἀλλ' ἀπατῶν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ τούτου μάταιος ἡ θρησκεία
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
כִּי יֶֽחֶטְאוּ-לָךְ כִּי אֵין אָדָם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יֶחֱטָא וְאָֽנַפְתָּ בָם וּנְתַתָּם לִפְנֵי אוֹיֵב וְשָׁבוּם שֹֽׁבֵיהֶם אֶל-אֶרֶץ הָֽאוֹיֵב רְחוֹקָה אוֹ קְרוֹבָֽה׃
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
וּמַה-יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם-אֵל וּמַה-יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
παραδιατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
כִּי יֶֽחֶטְאוּ-לָךְ כִּי אֵין אָדָם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יֶחֱטָא וְאָֽנַפְתָּ בָם וּנְתַתָּם לִפְנֵי אוֹיֵב וְשָׁבוּם שֽׁוֹבֵיהֶם אֶל-אֶרֶץ רְחוֹקָה אוֹ קְרוֹבָֽה׃
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
Μηδεὶς ἑαυτὸν ἐξαπατάτω· εἴ τις δοκεῖ σοφὸς εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ μωρὸς γενέσθω ἵνα γένηται σοφός
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
Ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι κοινωνίαν ἔχομεν μετ' αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ σκότει περιπατῶμεν ψευδόμεθα καὶ οὐ ποιοῦμεν τὴν ἀλήθειαν·
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ἐφανερώθη ἵνα τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἄρῃ καὶ ἁμαρτία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
