pressed), is an adjective, most frequently used as a noun (see
SINFUL
); it is the most usual
term to describe the fallen condition of men; it is applicable to all men, Rom. 5:8, 19. In
the Synoptic Gospels the word is used not infrequently, by the Pharisees, of publicans
(tax collectors) and women of ill repute, e.g., “a woman which was in the city, a sinner,”
Luke 7:37; “a man that is a sinner,” 19:7. In Gal. 2:15, in the clause “not sinners of the
Gentiles,” the apostle is taking the Judaizers on their own ground, ironically reminding
them of their claim to moral superiority over Gentiles; he proceeds to show that the Jews
are equally sinners with Gentiles.
