What is the concept of sin? Is sin equal to crime?

How do we measure sin? Is sin still acceptable to apply on immoral behavior that we practice today that no longer crime?

What's your opinion on it? This questions is for religious and non believers.

I want serious answers. I want a healthy conversation. Any slurs/negative/toxicity on comments shall be deleted.

I was taught that sin was anything that fell short of perfection

sins could be by commission or ommission. and many sins are excusable because we inherited the our sinful condition from the first humans.

So that being said sins are not all crime but all crimes are generally a sin or one kind or another - either a violent crime or a fraudulent act.

In the religion I was brought up in the standards of the deity do not change but man's view of sin is in constant flux.
