Concise Bible Dictionary
:
City in
Egypt
; the LXX has
Σάϊς
, and
the Vulgate
(as in the margin),
Pelusium
.
Ezekiel
calls it “the strength of Egypt” (
Ezek. 30:15-16
15
And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
16
And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily. (Ezekiel 30:15‑16)
). It is supposed to be identified with the modern
Tineh
, where a few ruins are found. It is close to the Pelusiac mouth of the
Nile
, about 31° 4' N, 32° 28' E.

From Anstey’s
Doctrinal Definitions
:
As a rule in the
New
Testament
epistles
,
“sins”
(plural) refer to the evil deeds that men do, and
“
sin
”
(singular) is the fallen
nature
in men (the
flesh
). Hence,
“sins”
are evil
actions,
whereas
“sin”
is the evil
nature.
The first is what we have
done
, and the second is what we
are
. Thus,
“sins”
are manifestations of
“sin;”
or
“sins”
are the product of
“sin;”
or
“sins”
are the
fruit
of a bad tree and
“sin”
is the
root
of that bad tree.
“Sin”
is more than just the old sin-nature; it is that evil nature with a will in it that is determined to gratify its lusts.
Another difference between these two things is that
“sins”
can be
“forgiven”
by the
grace
of
God
(
Rom. 4:7
7
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Romans 4:7)
), but
“sin”
is not forgiven, but rather, it is
“condemned”
under the righteous
judgment
of God (
Rom. 8:3
3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: (Romans 8:3)
). It is important to pay attention to this distinction when reading the epistles; if we don’t, we will come away with some mistaken ideas.
