Even if you sin again and again,

No, your sins affect only people like yourself,

and your good deeds also affect only humans.

and your righteousness affects humans.

KJV 1900King James Version

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him?

Or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

Or what receiveth he of thine hand?

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art;

And thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
