It is often synonymous with sin, transgression, or wickedness, but carries a particular emphasis on the inherent perversity and moral distortion of human actions that deviate from God's righteous standards.<br><br><b>Hebrew and Greek Terms</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word most commonly translated as "iniquity" is "עָוֹן" (avon), which conveys the idea of perversity, depravity, or guilt. It often implies a conscious and deliberate deviation from God's law. In the New Testament, the Greek word "ἀνομία" (anomia) is frequently used, meaning lawlessness or the condition of being without law.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage and Context</b><br><br>Iniquity is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, illustrating the human condition and the need for divine intervention. It is often associated with the inner corruption of the heart, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/51-5.htm">Psalm 51:5</a>, where David acknowledges, "Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me" . This verse highlights the inherent sinfulness present from birth, a concept that underscores the doctrine of original sin.<br><br>The prophet Isaiah vividly describes the separation that iniquity causes between humanity and God: "But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear" (<a href="/isaiah/59-2.htm">Isaiah 59:2</a>). This separation underscores the gravity of iniquity and its consequences on the relationship between God and man.<br><br><b>Consequences of Iniquity</b><br><br>The Bible consistently warns of the dire consequences of iniquity. Iniquity leads to spiritual death and separation from God, as seen in <a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" . The persistent practice of iniquity results in a hardened heart and a reprobate mind, as described in <a href="/romans/1-28.htm">Romans 1:28-32</a>.<br><br>Iniquity also brings about divine judgment. The Old Testament is replete with examples of God's judgment upon nations and individuals due to their iniquities. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) and the Babylonian exile of Judah (2 Kings 24-25) serve as historical reminders of the consequences of persistent iniquity.<br><br><b>Atonement and Redemption</b><br><br>Despite the pervasive nature of iniquity, the Bible offers hope through atonement and redemption. The sacrificial system in the Old Testament provided a temporary covering for iniquity, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. <a href="/isaiah/53-5.htm">Isaiah 53:5-6</a> prophesies the redemptive work of the Messiah: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed" .<br><br>In the New Testament, the atoning work of Christ is central to the eradication of iniquity. <a href="/hebrews/9-26.htm">Hebrews 9:26</a> declares, "But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself" . Through faith in Christ, believers are justified and cleansed from all iniquity, as affirmed in 1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" .<br><br><b>The Call to Righteousness</b><br><br>The Bible calls believers to turn away from iniquity and pursue righteousness. <a href="/ephesians/4-22.htm">Ephesians 4:22-24</a> exhorts Christians to "put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" . This transformation is made possible through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to live in accordance with God's will.<br><br>Iniquity, while a profound and pervasive issue, is met with the profound grace and mercy of God, offering redemption and restoration to all who turn to Him in faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Etymologically, it is customary to explain it as meaning literally "crookedness," "perverseness," i.e. evil regarded as that which is not straight or upright, moral distortion (from `iwwah, "to bend," "make crooked," "pervert"). Driver, however (following Lagarde), maintains that two roots, distinct in Arabic, have been confused in Hebrew, one equals "to bend," "pervert" (as above), and the other equals "to err," "go astray"; that `awon is derived from the latter, and consequently expresses the idea of error, deviation from the right path, rather than that of perversion (Driver, Notes on Sam, 135 note) Whichever etymology is adopted, in actual usage it has three meanings which almost imperceptibly pass into each other:<br><br>(1) iniquity,<br><br>(2) guilt of iniquity,<br><br>(3) punishment of iniquity.<br><br>Primarily, it denotes "not an action, but the character of an action" (Oehler), and is so distinguished from "sin" (chaTTa'th). Hence, we have the expression "the iniquity of my sin" (<a href="/psalms/32-5.htm">Psalm 32:5</a>). Thus the meaning glides into that of "guilt," which might often take the place of "iniquity" as the translation of `awon (<a href="/genesis/15-16.htm">Genesis 15:16</a> <a href="/exodus/34-7.htm">Exodus 34:7</a> <a href="/jeremiah/2-22.htm">Jeremiah 2:22</a>, etc.). From "guilt" it again passes into the meaning of "punishment of guilt," just as Latin piaculum may denote both guilt and its punishment. The transition is all the easier in Hebrew because of the Hebrew sense of the intimate relation of sin and suffering, e.g. <a href="/genesis/4-13.htm">Genesis 4:13</a>, "My punishment is greater than I can bear"; which is obviously to be preferred to King James Version margin, the Revised Version, margin "Mine iniquity is greater than can be forgiven," for Cain is not so much expressing sorrow for his sin, as complaining of the severity of his punishment; compare <a href="/2_kings/7-9.htm">2 Kings 7:9</a> (the Revised Version (British and American) "punishment," the Revised Version margin "iniquity"); <a href="/isaiah/5-18.htm">Isaiah 5:18</a> (where for "iniquity" we might have "punishment of iniquity," as in <a href="/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41, 43</a>, etc.); <a href="/isaiah/40-2.htm">Isaiah 40:2</a> ("iniquity," the Revised Version margin "punishment"). The phrase "bear iniquity" is a standing expression for bearing its consequences, i.e. its penalty; generally of the sinner bearing the results of his own iniquity (<a href="/leviticus/17-16.htm">Leviticus 17:16</a>; <a href="/leviticus/20-17.htm">Leviticus 20:17, 19</a> <a href="/numbers/14-34.htm">Numbers 14:34</a> <a href="/ezekiel/44-10.htm">Ezekiel 44:10</a>, etc.), but sometimes of one bearing the iniquity of another vicariously, and so taking it away (e.g. <a href="/ezekiel/4-4.htm">Ezekiel 4:4</a>; 18:19). Of special interest in the latter sense are the sufferings of the Servant of Yahweh, who shall "bear the iniquities" of the people (<a href="/isaiah/53-11.htm">Isaiah 53:11</a>; compare <a href="/isaiah/53-6.htm">Isaiah 53:6</a>).<br><br>Other words frequently translated "iniquity" are: 'awen, literally, "worthlessness," "vanity," hence, "naughtiness," "mischief" (47 times in the King James Version, especially in the phrase "workers of iniquity," <a href="/job/4-8.htm">Job 4:8</a> <a href="/psalms/5-5.htm">Psalm 5:5</a>; <a href="/psalms/6-8.htm">Psalm 6:8</a> <a href="/proverbs/10-29.htm">Proverbs 10:29</a>, etc.); `awel and `awlah, literally, "perverseness" (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-4.htm">Deuteronomy 32:4</a> <a href="/job/6-29.htm">Job 6:29</a> the King James Version, etc.).<br><br>In the New Testament "iniquity" stands for anomia equals properly, "the condition of one without law," "lawlessness" (so translated in 1 <a href="/john/3-4.htm">John 3:4</a>, elsewhere "iniquity," e.g. <a href="/matthew/7-23.htm">Matthew 7:23</a>), a word which frequently stood for `awon in the Septuagint; and adikia, literally, "unrighteousness" (e.g. <a href="/luke/13-27.htm">Luke 13:27</a>).<br><br>D.
