Spanish translation question?

Asked by Haleth (18947points) February 26th, 2010

One of my friends posted in her facebook: Se dice el pecado pero el pecador. Pecador means sinner, but I thought pero meant but. This sentence seems to be some sort of a saying, but I have trouble with colloquial Spanish. Any ideas?

@LuvToRite HAHA Pero its But, Dog its PeRRo,

this question its OLD, but all the answers are wrong,

1. the text it’s wrong (as you can see my bad english, that’s bad spanish)

it should be “se dice el pecado pero no el pecador” that means something like “You can say the sin, but not the sinner”
