sin = transgression of the law.When the word sin is used as a noun, the word "hamartia" literally means "a missing of the mark" .


Iniquity = literally means "planned lawlessness" or "premeditated evil," and used in a way which suggests the meaning as lawlessness or wickedness.

Iniquity is sin that is planned or premeditated and forgiveness is not sought or desired.
