A sin is nothing more than regret. Not for doing it once, but doing it again when you know you’re going to regret it. This quote has many hidden meanings including the idea that sin is something that happens over and over again. The quote can also be applied to regret because regret is often followed by another sin.

For example, if a person regrets making a wrong choice, they may choose to do the same thing all over again. Or, if a person regrets breaking a promise, they may feel compelled to make another promise that they know they can’t keep.
