In both languages they meant โTo miss the markโ as in to fail at hitting a target or goal.
Spiritually, Sin is also missing the mark or goal. The mark is set by God (The laws he gave us) and us missing that mark or goal he set out (breaking the law, rebelling against God) is called sinning.

Just like how Satan wanted to be like God it is with this same temptation he tempts Adam and Eve, to be like God. And then they rebelled against God and his commandmentsโฆ They sinned (Original Sin). And it is through that act that everyone that is a human spiritually inherits sin. Meaning everyone of us are born spiritually sinful, with the inherit spiritual need to rebel against God and to be lawless.

๐ก So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I donโt really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I donโt do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
The Greek word translated โimputeโ means โto take something that belongs to someone and credit it to someone elseโs account. What Adam did, so did everyone else. It is Adamโs guilt attributed to or credited to us. And so what Adam is punished, so will everyone else. In short, It does not mean we are personally guilty of Adamโs sin, only that his sin was credited to our account, and thus every person participates in the guilt and penalty of that original transgression. So in a way Adam and Us are the same, and so would be punished the same.
So sin is breaking the law, but there was a time where there was no law. From Adam to Moses. So if there was no law to break, there wouldnโt be sin. But since everyone after Adam has inherited sin, everyone is sinful despite having no laws to break, and also were punished the same. But after Moses, humans were subject to death both because of inherited sin from Adam and imputed sin from violating the laws of God.

๐ก For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,
Which is committed every day by every human being. Because we have inherited sin, we commit individual, personal sins, everything from seemingly innocent sins to murder.

๐ก There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

So God uses the principle of imputation to save us from our sins.

๐ก In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.โ
When a human being is born, he inherits sinful nature from Adam. Meaning every human being has internal spiritual want and need to rebel against God and to break his laws. That is inherited sin. Then because of inherited sin, we are punished the same way Adam was; by death. His judgement is also passed onto us even if we break no laws. That is imputed sin. Finally thereโs personal sin. It is the everyday breaking of laws and rebelling against God.
So in conclusion we sin because we are sinners and we are sinners because we sin.
We are three times condemned due to inherited sin, imputed sin, and personal sin. The only just penalty for this sin is physical and spiritual death. So God used one of his principles to save us, imputation.
Imputed sin is the biggest reason for the biggest form of love God can show us. Thereโs no greater love than to die for someone else and the reason Jesus did that for us is because of imputation; because our sins had to be imputed upon him and his righteousness onto us.
1 John 4:9-10

โค๏ธ God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
So Jesus died because all types and amounts of sins were imputed on Him and then he was risen so his righteousness and holiness can be imputed on Us.

๐ก He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
As all people are in Adam, so all believers are in Christ. Being in Christ means that His righteousness is now ours. Through Christโs sacrificial death on the cross, the sin of humanity was imputed to Christ. Jesus took on Himself the penalty for our sin.

๐ก He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
In conclusion, When we believe in Jesus Christ, we are set free from inherited and imputed sin because He took our position and died instead of us. But when he rose from the dead, he imputed his holiness and righteousness on to us. And for the daily sins we commit we can ask for forgiveness and he will forgive us. And to not sin / to not miss the mark God put his Spirit in us to help us overcome personal flesh sins.
