It emphasizes the pre-existing nature of sin before a particular event or revelation. This term is often used to highlight the continuity or persistence of sin in an individual's life before a transformative encounter or divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sin was often tied to moral and ethical failures, both in religious and societal contexts. The prefix "pro" indicates a temporal aspect, suggesting that the sin occurred before a specific event or realization. In the context of early Christianity, this term would have been significant in discussions about repentance and the transformative power of faith in Christ, emphasizing the need for acknowledgment and turning away from past sins.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/264.htm">hamartanó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to sin before<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sinned in the past (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4258: προαμαρτάνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προαμαρτάνω</span></span>: perfect participle <span class="greek2">προημαρτηκως</span>; <span class="accented">to sin before</span>: <span class="greek2">οἱ</span> <span class="greek2">προημαρτηκοτες</span>, of those who before receiving baptism had been guilty of the vices especially common muong the Gentiles, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/12-21.htm">2 Corinthians 12:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/13-2.htm">2 Corinthians 13:2</a>; in this same sense also in <span class="abbreviation">Justin Martyr</span>, Apology i. e. 61; <span class="abbreviation">Clement of Alexandria</span>, strom. 4, 12; cf.
