Berean Strong's Lexicon
hamartéma: Sin, offense, transgression

Original Word: ἁμάρτημα
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: hamartéma
Pronunciation: hah-MAR-tay-mah
Phonetic Spelling: (ham-ar'-tay-mah)
Definition: Sin, offense, transgression
Meaning: a fault, sin, evil deed.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἁμαρτάνω (hamartanō), meaning "to miss the mark" or "to sin."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2403 (חַטָּאָה, chatta'ah): Sin, sin offering

- H6588 (פֶּשַׁע, pesha): Transgression, rebellion

Usage: In the New Testament, "hamartéma" refers to an act of sin or a specific transgression. 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.

Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
