<p>16:28 <i>But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying: Do not harm yourself For we are all here<em></em></i>- Every other usage of the phrase 'to do harm' is always in a moral sense, of sinning (Rom. 7:19; 9:11; 13:4; 2 Cor. 5:10). We can therefore in this case conclude that suicide would have been a sin; although God's forgiveness of that sin is another issue.</p>
