It is used throughout the Old Testament to describe acts of disobedience against God's commandments. Usage: The term ἁμαρτάνω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of sinning or falling short of God's standards. It appears in various contexts, often highlighting human moral failure and the need for repentance and divine forgiveness. Context: The Greek verb ἁμαρτάνω is a central term in the New Testament, reflecting the concept of sin as a deviation from divine will. It is used to describe both specific sinful actions and the general state of sinfulness inherent in humanity. The term is found in key theological passages that address the nature of sin, its consequences, and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
