This fact, that the opposite of sin is by no means virtue, has been overlooked. The latter is partly a pagan view, which is content with a merely human standard, and which for that very reason does not know what sin is, that all sin is before God. No, the opposite of sin is faith.
Soren KierkegaardFor without risk there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith.
Soren Kierkegaard
