In the OT the Hebrew term awon is thus translated, which points to †¢sin with emphasis on its depravity and perversion. Also from the point of view of his character of great injustice, he causes special guilt before God. God hates †œall that do i.† (Ps 5:5), but †œreserves mercy for thousands… forgives i., rebellion and sin† (Exo 34:7-9). Both the act of sinning and the result and guilt that result from it are i. Thus, it speaks of “making i.† (Ps 14:4; Ps 53:4; Isa 29:20). In the NT i. translates the Greek anomie. As in Rom 4:7 (“Blessed are those whose i. are forgiven, and whose sins are covered”). Or in Tit 2:13-14 (†œ… our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all i.† ). In 2Th 2:7-12 Paul speaks of the “mystery of the i.† that is already at work in the world and that will be fully manifested when “that wicked one…whose coming is through the work of Satan…† arises. He is the †¢antichrist, that “it opposes and exalts itself against everything that is called God or that is worshiped; so much so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God † (2Th 2:3-4). †¢Sin.

Vet literally means injustice, the condition of not being righteous, either in relation to God, based on his immovable standard of justice and holiness, or in relation to men, based on what man knows to be. just because of his own conscience. In the OT, iniquity is pointed out as an internal condition of the human heart (Ps. 58:2), also applying the term iniquity to the unjust acts committed (Ps. 36:12). The members of sinful man are instruments of iniquity (Rom. 6:13ff.); the mystery of iniquity is in action that will culminate in the arrival of “that wicked one” (2 Thess. 2:7-12), who will lead an apostate world to rebel against God by posing as God (2 Thess. 2: 4; see ANTICHRIST); the believer must turn away from iniquity in his life and relationships (2 Tim. 2:19), and pursue “righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Tim. 2 :22). Through the shedding of his blood the Lord Jesus has put into effect the New Covenant, on the basis of which he can justify those who believe in Him (Rom. 3: 22-26); thus, God promises: “never again will I remember his sins and his iniquities.” The fate of the unrepentant will be eternal punishment (Mt. 13:41). (See IMPIETY.)

Evil action done with wicked intent. The authors of iniquity, the wicked, were reviled in the Old Testament. And in the New they are also condemned by Jesus himself on various occasions.

The term “anomia”, iniquity, is used half a dozen times in the evangelical texts: “You are full of hypocrisy and iniquity” (lies and wickedness)” (Mt. 13. 41). And twenty other books pick it up: “The mystery of iniquity is already acting.” (2 Thess. 2.7)

Sometimes it is the translation of the Greek anomia (without law) and refers, in general, to those who do evil, outside and against the law; in a more concrete way, to opposition to God, to unbelief (cf. Mt 7, 23; 13, 41; 23, 28; 24, 12). Other times it is the translation of adikia (without justice, injustice), and refers both to the lack of justice, that is, of holiness in relationships with God, and interhuman injustice, in social relationships with men (Mt 20, 13; Lk 13, 27; 16, 8-11; 18, 6; Jn 7, 18).

Quality of that which does not conform to God’s standard of moral excellence and therefore is bad, perverse or useless. Like the Greek word po ne riʹa (Mt 22:18; Mr 7:22; Lu 11:39; Ac 3:26; Ro 1:29; 1Co 5:8; Eph 6:12), the Hebrew verb ra·shaʹ and related terms designate that which is wicked. (Ge 18:23; 2Sa 22:22; 2Ch 20:35; Job 34:8; Ps 37:10; Isa 26:10) Po ne ros (related to po ne ri a) it often means that which is wicked or wicked in a moral sense (Lu 6:45), and it can apply to something that is evil or worthless in a physical sense, as when Jesus Christ spoke of “worthless fruit.” (Mt 7:17, 18) This word can also designate something harmful, which is why at Revelation 16:2 it has been translated “painful” (LT, AV), “evil” (NM, DA), “pernicious” ( Sd, UN) and †œharmful† (Besson).

Why has God allowed iniquity?
Satan the Devil, who caused the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, to rebel against God, is in opposition to God’s righteous standards and is therefore called “the wicked one.” (Mt 6:13; 13:19, 38; 1Jo 2:13, 14; 5:19) The rebellion he initiated called into question the rightness and justice of God’s sovereignty, that is, whether the rulership of God over his creatures was exercised with justice and for the benefit of his interests. Adam and Eve’s rebellion also raised another question: Would all other intelligent creatures be unfaithful and disloyal to God when it seemed to them that obedience brought them no material benefit? Satan’s accusation regarding faithful Job implied that it would be so. Satan said: “Skin in the interest of skin, and all that a man has he will give in the interest of his soul. For a change, please reach out and touch his bone and the flesh of it, and see if he doesn’t curse you to your face †. (Job 2:4, 5; see SOVEREIGNTY A.)
For the issues that had been raised to be resolved, time had to pass. Therefore, by allowing wicked persons to continue living, Jehovah God made it possible for others to share in proving Satan’s claim false by the testimony of his faithful service to Him even under unfavorable circumstances. God’s allowing wickedness has also given people the opportunity to abandon all improper ways and voluntarily submit to God’s righteous laws. (Isa 55:7; Eze 33:11) Therefore, God’s temporary refraining from destroying the wicked makes room for righteous-disposed persons to be saved, allowing them time to demonstrate their love and devotion to God. Jehovah. (Ro 9:17-26.)
Furthermore, Jehovah God uses circumstances in such a way that the wicked unwittingly aid his purpose. Although they oppose God, He can restrain them to the extent necessary to protect His upright servants, and He can even cause His actions to enhance divine justice. (Ro 3: 3-5, 23-26; 8: 35-39; Ps 76:10) This idea is expressed at Proverbs 16: 4: † “All things Jehovah has done for his purpose, yes, even to the wicked for the evil day †.
An example is that of Pharaoh, whom Jehovah made known through Moses and Aaron that he should free the Israelites held in slavery. God did not make this Egyptian ruler wicked, but he allowed him to continue to live and also managed circumstances to show that he was wicked and deserving of death. Jehovah’s purpose in doing this is revealed at Exodus 9:16: “For this cause I have kept you in existence, in order to show you my power and so that my name may be declared in all the earth.”
The ten plagues poured out on Egypt, culminating in the annihilation of Pharaoh and his military forces at the Red Sea, were an impressive display of Jehovah’s power. (Ex. 7:14–12:30; Ps 78:43-51; 136:15) Neighboring nations still spoke of this event many years later, and in this way God’s name was declared throughout the earth. (Jos 2:10, 11; 1Sa 4: 8) Had Jehovah immediately executed Pharaoh, this grand display of his power for his glory and the deliverance of his people would not have been possible.
The Scriptures assure that the day will come when iniquity will disappear, since all those who oppose the Creator will be destroyed when the purpose for which God has allowed it has been fulfilled. (2Pe 3:9-13; Rev 18:20-24; 19:11–20:3, 7-10.)
