Fellow sinners continued...
from the Inaugural Address of Dr. Frank Wright (as the new president) to the National Religious Broadcasters (2003)
"Thank you Dr. Kennedy, Dr. Robertson, Dr. Bright, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Executive Committee, Members of the Board of Directors, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Sinners: Have I left anyone out? I don’t think so."

Fellow sinners continued...
from Homosexuals & Christians by Jamey Bennet ... { When I heard his absolute indigination, I thought to myself, "It's no wonder homosexuals dislike Christians so intensely." Instead of treating them as fellow sinners no worse off than ourselves, we treat them as if WE are righteous and they are no-good pond scum.} ...more

Fellow sinners continued...
But to be forgiving of and tolerant toward fellow-sinners is a completely different attitude from being "soft" on sin and evil itself. Sin is our mutual enemy, the thief that robs life from us all. Sin deserves no mercy and dare not be tolerated. ...more

Phrase searches are cool... and word pairs are very cool...
I developing some definition pages that show word usage through the ages.
Maybe I'll be able to sort the word and phrase usage by date and author also....
see for instance... fellow sinners
John Muir arrived in California in 1868. Shortly after his first visit to the Sierra Nevada, he dedicated himself to preserving the natural beauty of his adopted homeland. He wrote in his diary that "John the Baptist was not more eager to get all of his fellow sinners into the Jordan River than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God's mountains." ... more
From the Confessions of St. Augustine -- Chapter VIII.—In His Theft He Loved the Company of His Fellow-Sinners...:
When he stole pears from a neighbors yard he says... "my enjoyment was not in those pears, it was in the crime itself, which the company of my fellow-sinners produced." ...more
From Charles Dickens book with the title of George Silverman's Explanation - chapter six.
'Well, my friends and fellow-sinners, now I told you when I began, that I didn't know a word of what I was going to say to you (and no, I did not!), but that it was all one to me, because I knew the Lord would put into my mouth the words I wanted.' ...more
From Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Discources on the Joys or Sorrows of Departed Souls
Shall these creatures, who seem to stand in a sort of indifferent character, who are outwardly blameless, with regard to common morality, and have exercised the common virtues of justice and benevolence towards their fellow-creatures, perhaps under the influences of education or custom, or perhaps by the effect that reason, or philosophy, or their inward fears have had towards the restraint of their passions and appetites; I say, shall such sort of creatures as these be filled with those furies of rage and resentment against God, envy and malice towards their fellow-sinners, and all the vile and unsociable passions in these regions of misery, which they have never found working in them here on earth, or but in a low degree? ...more

Looking at Latin translation pages this morning, I found one linked to the search tool, WebGlimpse, and looks like a powerful and well maintained open-source search engine product.

Metonymy:
Noah Webster 1828 definition: [ (from two greek words meaning over, beyond and name) In rhetoric, a trope in which one word is put for another; a change of names which have some relation to each other; as when we say, "a man keeps a good table", instead of "good provisions". We read Virgil, that is his poems. They have Moses and the prophets, that is their books or writings. A man has clear head, that is understanding, intellect; a warm heart, that is, affections.]
Metonymy ("met-AH-na-mee") is the rhetorical or metaphorical substitution of a one thing for another based on their association or proximity. Examples: a monarch is not the same thing as a crown, but we often refer to the monarch as "the crown" because the two are associated. -- from Jack Lynch's Guide to Literary Terms
Metonymic:
hyperdictionary definition -- "[adj] using the name of one thing for that of another with which it is closely associated; "to say `he spent the evening reading Shakespeare' is metonymic because it substitutes the author himself for the author's works"
Metonym:
A word that is used metonymically; a word that denotes one thing but refers to a related thing
