Hi!
Sins:
I can think of adultery, to start with the simplest one, hypocrisy (Arthur Dimmesdale as well as mst of the Puritan community: Hester's letter can make her feel who is a fellow sinner: ), being idle (his ancestors in the Custom-House would say that Hawthorne is an idler because he's a writer, being close to nature/ the forest / witchcraft/the "black man" like Chillingworth and being unrepenting as hester seems to be, being hard-hearted as the Puritan leaders are.
Well, that's all I can think about for now!
Hope it helps!
