One should always expect them to repent. Persisting in sin (rather than “imperfection”) leads to a sticky end, and to be found fighting against one’s Maker does not end well.
Ain’t no non sinners. Lots of good people try to repent or do better but keep failing. I’m only sin free for a couple hours after Yom Kippur, what with not treating people with respect, bad words, etc. I don’t feel l can put my sins up against other basically good people’s. Who the heck am I?
