This is another clear-cut clear-cut definition for sin given in the language of the Holy Spirit. The prefix "un" is used to denote the lack of the quality qual-ity expressed in the word. For instance, "unhappy" means that one is lacking in th quality qual-ity of happiness; "unmerciful" indicates that one is lacking in the quality of mercy. So "unrighteousness" "un-righteousness" means an absence ab-sence of the quality of righteousness. right-eousness. And since all unrighteousness un-righteousness is sin, one who is lacking in the quality of righteousness right-eousness is a sinner. And any act which is not characterized by the quality of righteousness is a sin. But we raise ' the question, How may we know what is right? and who is righteous? David said, "All thy commandments are righteousness." right-eousness." (Psa. 119:172), When one's life is regulated by the -commandments of God, that one's life is righteous for he is doing righteousness. Those who pay no heed to the commandments of the Lord, but live according to their own desires, are lacking in the quality of righteousness; their actions are not characterized by the quality of righteousness and so they are sinners. .
