# iniquity
|
||
|
||
## Definition:
|
||
|
||
The term “iniquity” is a word that is very similar in meaning to the term “sin,” but may more specifically refer to conscious acts of wrongdoing or great wickedness.
|
||
|
||
* The word “iniquity” literally means a twisting or distorting (of the law). It refers to major injustice.
|
||
* Iniquity could be described as deliberate, harmful actions against other people.
|
||
* Other definitions of iniquity include “perversity” and “depravity,” which are both words that describe conditions of terrible sin.
|
||
|
||
## Translation Suggestions:
|
||
|
||
* The term “iniquity” could be translated as “wickedness” or “perverse actions” or “harmful acts.”
|
||
* Often, “iniquity” occurs in the same text as the word “sin” and “transgression” so it is important to have different ways of translating these terms.
