It isn't the thing you do;
It's the thing you leave undone,

Imagine this scenario:
You have been diagnosed with a rare blood disease and need a blood transfusion. But this transfusion must come from a sibling. To your knowledge you have no siblings, that is until your parents tell you a story they have kept secret for years. You do have a brother. Years

Sin is deceptive. It is like an apple worm, which is really codling moth larva. On the outside of the apple you see a small hole, a little blemish. But when you open the apple up it is ruined.
