In your brother’s James commentary, I like the way he interprets sin as something like “straying or erring from the path”, as opposed to the traditional phrasing I’ve always heard as “missing the mark”. The former phrase seems more spiritual/theosis-flavored (Orthodox). The latter phrase seems more juridicial-flavored (Evangelical). I don’t know which phrase better hits the mark and stays on the path in terms of translation, but I do know which one helps me more spiritually.
