Hello.


I'd go with:

Vita peccati

---------

"Life"  = Vita (nominative singular)    Examples:
://www.google.com/search?q=latin+vita+%22life+of%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&start=10&sa=N
"Of sin" = peccati (genitive singular) Examples:
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&c2coff=1&q=peccati+%22of+sin%22&btnG=Search

Here's an example of this phrase in actual use.  On a web page quoting
theologian John Calvin:

"...rursum vita peccati mors hominis."
http://www.ccel.org/pipeline/0-scan/3-hodge-romans/htm/d24.htm

That translates to: "Once more, life of sin, death of man."

-------

If you wanted to use the plural "sins," and say "life of sins," you
could say, "vita peccatorum."  This phrase seems to be used as well. 
For example:

"... vita peccatorum est diabolica vita."
http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ksbm/serm/ioh_zern.htm
"... a life of sins is an evil life."

-------
search strategy:
latin "of sin"
peccati "of sin"
peccatorum "of sins"

I hope this helps.
