Answer 2

Sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral code of conduct or the state of having committed such a violation. In monotheistic religions, the code of conduct is determined by God. Colloquially, any thought, word, or act considered immoral, shameful, harmful, or alienative might be termed "sinful".

Common ideas surrounding sin in various religions include:

* Punishment for sins, either from other people, from God either in life or an afterlife, or from the Universe in general
* The question of whether or not an act must be intentional to be sinful
* The idea that one's conscience should produce guilt for a knowing sin
* A scheme for determining the seriousness of the sin
* Repentance from (expressing regret for and determining not to commit) sin, and atonement (repayment) for past deeds
* The possibility of forgiveness of sins, often through communication with a deity or intermediary; in Christianity often referred to as salvation

Crime and justice are related secular concepts.

Answer 3

Sin is a willful disobedience of God's laws. Transgression is a breaking of God's laws without the willfulness aspect. In a broader definition, "he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin". Thus, we have sins of commision and sins of omission. We can sin by doing something wrong and we can sin by not doing something right. Thus, the priest and the Levite that passed the wounded merchant sinned because they knew to help and did not help. The Samaritan, a traditional adversary, stopped and helped, showing the more Godlike qualities that we should all emulate.
