A sinner is a person who has broken God’s rules. In church language, a sin is a wrong God does not want, and a sinner is the one who did it. The word is old and serious: the Bible, hymns, and priests use it a lot. Some teachings even say every person is a sinner, because nobody keeps every rule.

A sinner罪人 is a person who has broken God's rules指的是違反了上帝規定的人。 In church language用教會的說法， a sin罪 is a wrong God does not want就是上帝不希望發生的錯事， and a sinner is the one who did it而罪人就是做了那件錯事的人。 The word is old and serious這個字又老又嚴肅： the Bible, hymns, and priests use it a lot聖經、聖詩、神父都常常用它。 Some teachings even say every person is a sinner有些教義甚至說每個人都是罪人， because nobody keeps every rule因為沒有人能守住每一條規定。

Though actually, people also say it with a small smile — “I’m a sinner” can mean only “I did something a bit naughty,” like eating the last biscuit. That jokey use is common at the table; in a church the same word still lands as a heavy judgement.

Though actually不過實際上， people also say it with a small smile人們也會帶著一點笑意這樣說—— "I'm a sinner" can mean only "I did something a bit naughty,"「I'm a sinner」有時候只是說「我做了一件有點頑皮的事」， like eating the last biscuit像是把最後一片餅乾吃掉。 That jokey use is common at the table這種開玩笑的用法在餐桌上很常見； in a church the same word still lands as a heavy judgement但同一個字放在教堂裡，還是聽起來很沉重、像是一種審判。

It is not a police word or a school word. You do not call a thief a sinner unless you are speaking in a religious way.
