"Sin" is a native English word inherited from the Proto-Germanic ancestor language that English shares with German (where the word is Sünde), Dutch (zonde), and so on.

It's an open question where Proto-Germanic got the word. Some scholars connect it with Latin sons, "guilty, criminal", but whether the connection is one of borrowing (from Latin into Proto-Germanic), or of parallel development, is not settled.
