Words of “Sin” in the New Testament

Words of “Sin” in the New Testament Romans 5:12–21 Excerpt The principal NT term is  hamartia  (and cognates), which is equivalent to   ḥṭ’ . In classical Gk. it is used for missing a target or taking a wrong road. It is the general NT term for sin as concrete wrongdoing, the violation of God’s law ( Jn. 8:46 ;  Jas. 1:15 ;  1 Jn. 1:8 ). In  Rom. 5–8  Paul personifies the term as a ruling principle in human life ( cf .   5:12 ;  6:12 ,  14 ;  7:17 ,  20 ;  8:2 ).  paraptōma  occurs in classical contexts for an error in measurement or a blunder. The NT gives it a stronger moral connotation as misdeed or trespass ( cf .   ‘dead through … ’ ,  Eph. 2:1 ;  Mt. 6:14 f.).  parabasis  is a similarly derived term with similar meaning, ‘transgression’ , ‘going beyond the norm’ ( Rom. 4:15 ;  Heb. 2:2 ).  asebeia   is perhaps the profoundest NT term and commonly transla...
