There are a few.
First of all and formost has been qouted
Sin is lawlessness. (without torah) 1 John 3
We know what Yahshua says about those who are lawless (without torah ) (transgressors of the law), He will say depart from me I never knew you! Matt 7
Don't try to spiritualise this away. Compare 1 John 3 and Matt 7 and be honest with yourself. He is not talking to the world he is talking to at that time is religious brothers, not pagans or unbelievers.
But a couple of other
To know to do what is right and not to do it is a sin. James 4
You are responsible to do what is right even if it doesn't fit your "religion" or "personal life style".
And one more
What ever in not of faith is sin. Romans 14
It's interesting that so many "Christians" go along with the crowd even if they are unsure or know better. How many "Christians" go to church on Sunday even though they know they can't prove it from scripture and they have doubts? How many "Christians" eat things not given to us for food even though they could not prove they can from scripture and are unsure about it? How many really believe what they are doing and are not just going along with the crowd so as not to rock the boat?
Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The bible says "He that knoweth to do right and does it not, to him it is sin". Lust gives birth to sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.
