"Jesus took an altogether different approach to sin. Rather than ranking sins as significant or less significant, he raised his listeners' sights to a perfect God, before whom all of us are sinners. We all fall back on the grace of God.
Isaiah put it in earthy language: all our righteous acts, he said, are as "filthy rags," literally, "soiled undergarments." "
"What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Philip Yancey - Zondervan 1997.
