It emphasizes the concrete act of wrongdoing rather than the abstract concept of sinfulness. This term is used to denote a violation of God's law or moral standards, highlighting the tangible nature of sin as an offense against divine holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "missing the mark" was often associated with archery, where an archer fails to hit the target. This imagery was adopted in Jewish and Christian thought to describe moral and spiritual failure. In the context of the New Testament, sin is understood as a deviation from God's will and commands, reflecting a failure to live up to the standards set by God. The Jewish understanding of sin was deeply rooted in the Torah, where sin was seen as a breach of covenant with God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 265</b> <i>hamártēma</i> (a neuter noun derived from <a href="/greek/264.htm">264</a> <i>/hamartánō</i>, "to sin") – a <i>sin</i>, focusing on its <i>result</i> (note the <i>-ma</i> suffix), i.e. "the painful linkages of sin." <a href="/greek/266.htm">See 266</a> (<i>hamartia</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/265.htm">265</a> (<i>hamártēma</i>) emphasizes the consequences of making any decision (action) by <i>self</i> rather than of faith ("God's inworked <i>persuasion</i>," cf.
