4 Haughty eyes, a proud heart,
and evil actions are all sin.

Sin is more than just acting on the evil things that we typically think about, such as murdering someone.  We too often forget that actions are only part of sinning.  Plus, James clarified in his New Testament book, that you don’t have to act on something to sin; you can also sin by neglecting to act on something.  But that is enough about actions.  We’re used to hearing about sinful acts.  The reason I picked this proverb is because it clearly says that sin is also having haughty eyes and a proud heart.  The one that gets me is a proud heart.  It would seem that every sin begins with pride.
