When it doesn't feel right to do. That is how I know what sin is. Granted there are some people who are mentally ill and don't feel anything when committing sin but to us healthy folk, it does not feel good to do.

Answer:

God provides man with the definition for "sin":

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW." (I John 3:4)

Further scriptures reveal "which" law it's talking about:

"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 -- sin is the breaking of the Ten Commandments.
