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.
Is there a practical difference? E.g., is there a different consequence for sin vs iniquity?

Sounds like one could commit sin (of the non-iniquity variety) without even knowing it, but not so iniquity. Is that correct?
