It's a good question, but it can be better explored without reference to sin or gods.
Take a severely unwell person, who kills another person as a consequence of their illness. Let's imagine they very much loved the victim. Do they deserve to be punished, and can they ever be forgiven? Should they get exactly what they deserve...or should we treat them more harshly or less harshly than they deserve? Do they need any of this, or is this for us?
