Sinful:
an adjective, akin to hamartano, "to sin," is used as an adjective, "sinful" in Mar 8:38; Luk 5:8; 19:7 (lit., "a sinful man"); Luk 24:7; Jhn 9:16, 24 (lit., "a man sinful"); Rom 7:13, for which see SIN, A, No. 1 (a). Elsewhere it is used as a noun: see SINNER. The noun is frequently found in a common phrase in sepulchral epitaphs in the S.W. of Asia Minor, with the threat against any desecrator of the tomb, "let him be as a sinner before the subterranean gods" (Moulton and Milligan).
Notes:
(1) In Rom 8:3, "sinful flesh" is, lit., "flesh of sin" (RV marg.): see SIN, No. 1 (c).
(2) For the RV of Rom 7:5, "sinful passions," see PASSION, No. 1.
