John 9:41 - If you were blind, you would have had no sin

[Hello There]

So, if we are not aware of sin can we be guilty of it.
My answer is yes, but I would like to know the understanding of this passage.

 

[Proact]

That is why we always pray for forgivness of sins that we are aware of or not aware of. Please refer to the verse (Jn 9:39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."). It explains it.

 

[PETE_]

The blind who come to sight are those who, admitting their helplessness and inability, trust Jesus for salvation. Those who see and become blind are those whose self-trust and pride blinds them to the wonders of Jesus. He does not condemn them by making them blind; they blind themselves by rejecting Him and Satan contributes to that blinding (2 Cor. 4:4).
9:40-41. Some of the Pharisees . . . asked, literally, “We also are not blind, are we?” They expected a negative answer because they assumed that certainly they, of all men, possessed spiritual perception. Sin constantly deceives people so they live in falsehood. Jesus replied, If the Pharisees were blind to spiritual things absolutely, they might have claimed ignorance as a defense. But their claims and pretentions of spiritual insight (you claim you can see) and leadership made them culpable. They were responsible for their sins because they sinned willfully. It is dangerous to be a teacher of spiritual truths ( 3:10; Rom. 2:19-24; James 3:1).​
