Eph 2:1  KAI hUMAS ONTAS NEKROUS TOIS PARAPTWMASIN KAI TAIS hAMARTIAIS hUMWN

 

I read in Stott's commentary on Ephesians that PARAPTWMASIN refers here to
'commission' and

hAMARTIAIS refers to 'ommission' sins. He says that hAMARTIAIS refers to
'missing the mark'.  It seems

to me that both terms may include both concepts and I cannot find as neat of
a dividing line in my lexicons.

 

Does anyone have some insight on the distinction between PARAPTWMASIN and
hAMARTIAIS in Eph 2:1?

What does that mean exactly?
