of the missings-of-the-mark
| Root | ἁμαρτία (hamartia) |
| Core Meanings | missing the mark, failure, transgression, sin, guilt |
| Semantic Range | individual sins, acts of wrongdoing, moral failures, guilt, sinful condition, consequences of transgression |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, ἁμαρτία expresses both concrete acts of wrongdoing and the broader condition of estrangement from God. As "missings-of-the-mark," it conveys humanity’s failure to align with God’s righteous standard, often serving as the object of forgiveness, atonement, or removal. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP,). Indicates possession, source, or association; feminine grammatical gender; plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of ἁμαρτία as a "missing of the mark," reflecting its derivation from ἁμαρτάνω (to miss, to fail). The genitive plural form (ἁμαρτιῶν) is conveyed by "of the" plus a plural noun, maintaining both the case (genitive: possession/source) and number (plural). |
