Sin of Omission

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

differs from that of commission in being negative, and consists in the leaving those things undone which ought to be done. "Ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone" (Matthew 23:23).
