b. For [Strong: 1063 gar gar a primary particle; properly, assigning a reason (used in argument, explanation or intensification; often with other particles):--and, as, because (that), but, even, for, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet.]

c. sin [Strong: 266 hamartia ham-ar-tee'-ah from 264; a sin (properly abstract):--offence, sin(-ful).]

d. taking [Strong: 2983 lambano lam-ban'-o a prolonged form of a primary verb, which is use only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, literally and figuratively (properly objective or active, to get hold of; whereas 1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one; while 138 is more violent, to seize or remove)):--accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).]

e. occasion [Strong: 874 aphorme af-or-may' from a compound of 575 and 3729; a starting-point, i.e. (figuratively) an opportunity:--occasion.] [Outline of Biblical Usage: a place from which a movement or attack is made, a base of operations, metaph. that by which endeavour is excited and from which it goes forth, that which gives occasion and supplies matter for an undertaking, the incentive, the resources we avail ourselves of in attempting or performing anything.]
