Sin

Sin mars both the sinner and the sinned.

The sinned cries for justification, the sinner lives under a burden of unrighteousness.

The sinned can forgive the sin, but he remains unjustified; and the sinner cannot be unburdened from the unrighteousness, until he acknowledges not only the sin but the forgiveness too.

But when sinned forgives and sinner repents, only then is perfection restored, and reason for being for both sinned and sinner renewed and resumed.
