("Even the Sept., although the Hebrew חָטָא also means primarily to miss, endeavor to reserve ἁμαρτάνω exclusively for the idea of sin: and where the Hebrew signifies to miss one's aim in the literal sense, they avail themselves of expressive compounds, in particular ἐξαμαρτάνειν, Judges 20:16." Zezschwitz, Profangraec, u. Biblical Sprachgeist, p. 63f) In the N. T. to wander from the law of God, violate God's law, sin;

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

It will be convenient to give (non-Christian) citations for this important word fully. In a private letter of the time of Augustus the writer complains—ἐγὼ μὲν οὐ δοκῶι ἄξιος εἶναι ὑβρίζεσθαι . . . οὐδὲ γὰρ ἡμάρτηκά τι εἰς σέ (cf. Acts 25:8, etc.), BGU IV. 1141.14 ff. : cf. l. 8 ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἐπιστολῇ οὐθὲν ἁμάρτημα ἔνει (l. ἔνι = ἔνεστι ). BGU III. 846 (i/A.D.) ( = Selections, p. 93, Documents, p. 259) is an illiterate appeal from Antonius Longus to his mother entreating her to be reconciled to him. He makes his daily prayer to Serapis for her, etc.—λ ̣οιπὸυ οἶδα τ ̣ι ̣ [ποτ᾽ αἰμαυτῷ παρέσχημαι , παιπαίδ ̣δευμαι καθ᾽ ὃν δῖ (l. δεῖ ) τρόπον . οἶδα ὅτι ἡμάρτηκα , ";furthermore I know what I have brought upon myself. Punished I have been as I ought. I know that I have sinned"; : cf. Luke 15:18; Luke 15:21. In the interesting rescript of an Emperor to the Jews, P Par 6850 ff., we read, καὶ γὰρ τ [οὺς εἰς ἡμᾶς ] ἁμαρτάνοντας δε [όντως κολάζεσθαι ] εἰκός . In P Oxy I. 34 iii. 4 (A.D. 127) a Roman prefect uses some strong language about infringement of his instructions regarding certain archives : ἄδειαν ἑαυτοῖς ὧν ἁμαρτάνουσι ἔσεσθ [α ]ι νομίζοντες , ";imagining that they will not be punished for their illegal acts"; (Edd.).
