What is a sin of omission? | James 4:17

What is a sin of omission?   It is generally used in contrast with the corresponding phrase “the sin of commission,” or sins that a person actively commits. Paul contrasts the two concepts in Romans 7:14-20 . He decries his tendency toward both types of sin. He does what he doesn’t want to do and knows is wrong—the sin of commission—and he doesn’t do what he knows he should do and really wants to do—the sin of omission. This is a picture of the nature of Christ and our own nature that is in conflict with the flesh in which it dwells.  This is a relationship battle.
