Accepted answer
According to God is for Us: 52 Readings from Romans, by Simon Ponsonby: "During the Diet of Augsburg Luthor wrote to Melancthon, 'Sin is essentially a departure from God.'" Quote is credited in that book to Watchwords for the Warfare of Life, Vol. 1, T. Nelson and Sons.

Luther's commentary on Genesis 3:9:
That is the very nature of sin, the farther a man departs from God the farther he wants to depart. And thus the man who has once departed and apostasized from God goes on departing and departing to all eternity.
