The Full Title Of this Message is:Who is a Worker Of Iniquity According to The Word Of God.
Have you ever asked yourself, who is a worker of Iniquity In Gods Word & In His Eyes in the Bible?
An do you think you have fallen into any of the categories? Don't answer just yet.
Lets start by looking at the Hebrew & Greek used in the Bible to give us understanding of the Word Iniquity.
To start off we will begin with the Greek ones, of which there are only 3 of them covered mainly in the New Testament:
Found in the Strong’s & Thayer’s in the Greek dictionary being G458 also linked to G459 is the greek word anomia
with its linking word in G459 being anomos where we get the word anomosity in today’s English, now here is the words definitions of both in the Strong’s & Thayer’s dictionary.
G458
anomia
an-om-ee'-ah
From G459; illegality, that is, violation of law or (generally) wickedness: - iniquity, X transgress (-ion of) the law, unrighteousness.
G459
anomos
an'-om-os
From G1 (as a negative particle) and G3551; lawless, that is, (negatively) not subject to (the Jewish) law; (by implication a Gentile), or (positively) wicked: - without law, lawless, transgressor, unlawful, wicked.
(from the Strongs)
G458
anomia
Thayer Definition:
1) the condition of without law
1a) because ignorant of it
1b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Part of Speech: noun feminine

G459
anomos
Thayer Definition:
1) destitute of (the Mosaic) law
1a) of the Gentiles
2) departing from the law, a violator of the law, lawless, wicked
Part of Speech: adjective
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from G1 (as a negative particle) and G3551
As we look at Anomia, it indicates doing things that is in Violation of the Law, an seeing this came from the Word of God from the New Testament, the only law it would be in reference to would be Gods Law, showing the iniquity of disobeying
Gods Law sets yourself up as doing something Illegal, falling into Transgressing Unrighteousness and into the Pit of wickedness thats being from the strongs, the Thayer’s extends more on the subject of it being, The condition of without the law, or being ignorant of the law, or because of violating the law, an moving into having contempt of the law, an confirming the rest of the strongs translation, showing you straightly that you are Out of Order through not listening to the Law of God.
Now as we look to anomos being the linking word to G458 it moves to saying that iniquity is Lawless or lawlessness, not making oneself subject to the law of God to even as the Thayer’s says it, departing from the law, an basically sticking to ones own wicked path.
Here are four scriptures that use G458 of Anomia which links to G459.
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second in the greek we will cover G3892 which is Paranomia and it linked to G3891 Paranomeo for the Greek
Strongs & Thayers Translation of Both.
G3892
paranomia
par-an-om-ee'-ah
From the same as G3891; transgression: - iniquity.
G3891
paranomeō
par-an-om-eh'-o
From a compound of G3844 and G3551; to be opposed to law, that is, to transgress: - contrary to law.
G3892

A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from the same as G3891
G3891
paranomeō
Thayer Definition:

Part of Speech: verb
A Related Word by Thayer’s/Strong’s Number: from a compound of G3844 and G3551
As we look to thayers & strongs definition of paranomia in the greek of 3892 it indicates the breach of law being transgression that leads into iniquity & wickedness, with the linking in 3891 it also shows for one to breach the law of God
they act in contradiction to the law of God.
Here is the only new testament scripture which covers this word of paranomia in the greek:
2Pe 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet.
this is speaking of Balaam who enjoyed the wages of his unrighteousness in the Sight of God, an by indication of Peter he shows how Balaam wouldve heard of Gods Law amongst the Chidren of Israel or the Jews in his time of the nation he was living in, an acted out against the Law Of God only to find out Later On he was Rebuked by the God Of Israel making an ass out of Balaam who was asked by his ruling leader in his time to curse Israel, so they would fall into diverse sins, where
God intervened where Balaam acted out against Gods Law.
If you don't think the God Of Israel could do to you of what He did to Balaam think again.
here are the previous verses to 2 pe 2:16
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in d**nable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their d**nation slumbereth not.
2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly;
2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2Pe 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds);
2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2Pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Now in the Grounds of it being based on the Laws of the Land an you were falsely accused for e.g. of Stealing a Car that would be a form of Iniquity as Stated here.
Here are 5 biblical verses from the new testament, that fall into the same Grounds of the Definitions of G93 & G94.
Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Act 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Act 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Act 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Act 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Act 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Act 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Act 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Act 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

Act 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
