Jehovah views willful sin seriously and does not condone it, as seen in Psalm 5:4-6. He calls for respect of His righteous standards while understanding our imperfection (Psalm 130:3-4). However, His hope is for all wrongdoers to repent and return to Him (2 Peter 3:9). Christian elders strive to guide individuals back to righteousness, though not all accept this help (Isaiah 6:9).
