mistake is an error or fault in defective judgement - the Greek word which means this is λάθος (lAthos - the emphasis in pronounciation goes on the vowel in the first syllable). Contrast this with the word ήμαρτον (EEmartOHn - the accent goes on the first vowel in the first syllable - loosely translated: I have witnessed wrongly) which is an admission that one is taking responsibility for one's sin.
