I. SIN
- The Verb.
hamartano = to miss the mark or aim; then,
to miss or wander from the right path; to go, or do, wrong.
- The Noun.
- hamartia = a failing to hit the mark; aberration
from prescribed law (connected with and resulting from the above).
In N.T. 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

- paraptoma = a falling aside, when one should
have stood upright. Hence (morally) a fall, a falling aside from

In Romans 5:12, No. 1 entered the world. The disobedience of Adam
(vv. 15, 17, 18) was No. 3, and the law entered that No. 3 which
