It is the sin of omission, the second kind of sin,
That lays eggs under your skin.

Portrait of the Artist as a Prematurely Old Man (1959)

The moral is that it is probably better not to sin at all, but if
some kind of sin you must be pursuing,
Well, remember to do it by doing rather than by not doing.
