They sin more and more .. This sounds like there is no repentance... There is a process to this,
1st there is the sin. The sin you didn't even know you were capable of. You feel terrible and repent , and ask for forgiveness. You feel it. You've grieved and disappointed your King. You vow to never do it again
Be it gossip or stealing or fornication or lust or rage or manipulation or lying , or whatever it is...
2nd you fall again. Your heart hurts and you ask for forgiveness. You feel like a failure but this time or the time after, not as bad as the first time
3rd you do it again and it sucks but you think, I'm sorry God. I will do better...
Next you do it again and this time you don't repent right away. There are no tears. And you hate it but this time you believe the lie that you should hide from creator.
Now you have (in your own mind) justified it. And there is no repentance, you don't feel too bad about it anymore and instead of running to God you run away from God and spend your time thinking about how to build your kingdom. And now God isn't on the throne of your life anymore. You are.
Your ideas, your opinions, and your things are what rule your actions and more devastating, your heart...
