It is a good thing to look at the definition of sin in greek, of course.
We should also look at the meaning of iniquity in Hebrew to understand
Isaiah 53, and thus why the saviour had to die.  

As far as knowing what sin means, we are fortunate that Jesus and Paul and 
Peter do not leave us to our own speculation about the definition of sin,
but they explain carefully what is sinful and what is righteous.
