Answer:

"...Sin is the transgression of the law." (I John 3:4)

The "law" in this case is the "Ten Commandments"... as Paul explains:

"What shall we say then? Is the law sin? GOD FORBID. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known LUST, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." (Rom.7:7)

The "law" that says, "Thou shalt not covet," is the "Ten Commandments."

Therefore... the number of sins mentioned in The Bible are "10."
