This adjective means without sin or sinless—free from moral fault. In John 8:7, Jesus challenges the accusers of the adulterous woman: let the one without sin cast the first stone. The Spanish sin-pecado and French sans-péché directly state the condition. The term appears in a moment of moral jujitsu where Jesus shifts focus from the woman's obvious sin to the hidden sins of her accusers, silencing them with the recognition that none qualify as sinless judges.
