- 4:7Or, more loosely, ‘As many as there are of them, that is how many have sinned against me....’ Or, ‘The more of them there are, the more they sin against me....’ Or, ‘As they increase in number, they increase in their sins against me....’ There is also an implicit sense in this verse that part of the reason for their sinfulness is the influence of the multitude, that is, of the majority. Living in a land where most people commit certain sins, makes it more likely that one will commit those sins.(Conte)
