---|---|---|
I. SIN.
i. The Verb.
hamartano = to miss the mark or aim; then, to miss or wander from the right path; to go, or do, wrong. ii. The Noun. 1. hamartia = a failing to hit the mark; aberration from prescribed law (connected with and resulting from the above). In New Testament always in a moral sense = a sin, whether by omission or commission, in thought, word, or deed. Also used in connection with the sin-offering (Hebrews 10:6, 8, 18; 13:11, as in Psalm 40:6, compare Leviticus 5:8). 2. hamartema = the actual sin. The evil principle in action; the sinful act or deed. 3. paraptoma = a falling aside, when one should have stood upright. Hence (morally) a fall, a falling aside from truth and equity; a fault, or trespass. In Romans 5:12, No. 1 entered the world. The disobedience of Adam (verses 15, 17, 18) was No. 3, and the law entered that No. 3 which before was error, might become criminal in the knowledge of the sinner. After this, where No. 1 abounded, grace did much more abound. II. WICKEDNESS. 1. poneria = depravity; iniquity, the wicked acting of the evil nature. See No. III. 1 below.2. kakia = depravity, the vicious disposition and desires, rather than the active exercise of them, which is No. 1 (poneria). III. EVIL (Adjective and Noun). 1. poneros = full of labors and pains in working mischief; evil intent (Matthew 12:39. Luke 11:29); grudging, in connection with the idea expressed in the "evil eye" (Matthew 6:23; 20:15. See the context, and compare Luke 11:13).2. kakos = depraved, bad in nature. Compare No. II. 2. 3. anomos = lawless, contempt of law. 4. anomia = lawlessness. |
