Sin to spie Satan? Sensible only to Lucifer and his ilk.

The advice the Good Book gives is, “Flee from sins as from the face of a serpent; for if thou comest near them, they will take hold of thee.” (Ecclesiasticus 21:2)

And:

“Before man is life and death, good and evil; that which he shall choose shall be given him.” (Ecclesiasticus 15:18)

If you follow Luther’s advice:

“For the wages of sin is death; but the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

If you follow Our Lord:

“Be ye therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 6:48)

Sensible only to those that believe in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Satan has no domain over sinners who believe. I'll bet you've never had the joy of telling the devil to go to hell or to go f-ck himself. I'll bet that you are trying to be the perfect Christian.

But how to be perfect, inasmuch as all sin and fall short of the glory of God, every one? Perfection most certainly is not achievable through the exercise of the will or works of unregnerate man, nor by adhering to man-devised rules of conduct moderated by priests.
