To make a life of sin look sweet' which makes me think maybe he's wondering if he should give up living to try to not sin, even though (depending on how strict the religion) giving up some of the pleasures in life, for something that he doesn't know is guaranteed.

Anyone can win, even losers, all they have to do is make someone else a worse loser, not even better themselves.
