The Synonymous Words Used for "Sin", "Wickedness", "Evil", "Ungodliness", "Disobedience", "Transgression", etc.
This Is Appendix 128 From The Companion Bible.

  1.  SIN.

    1. The Verb.
         hamartano = to miss the mark of aim; then, to miss or wander from the right path; to go, or do wrong.

    2. The Noun.

    1. harmartia = a failing to hit the mark; aberration from prescribed law (connected with and resulting from the above). In New Testament always in a moral sense = a sin, whether by omission or commission, in thought, word or deed. Also used in connection with the sin-offering (Hebrews 10:6, 8, 18; 13:11, as in Psalm 40:6, compare Leviticus 5:8).

    2. harmartema = the actual sin. The evil principle in action; the sinful act or deed.

    3. paratoma = a falling aside, when one should have stood upright. Hence (morally) a fall, a falling aside, from truth and equity; a fault, or trespass.

       In Romans 5:12, Number 1 entered the world. The disobedience of Adam (verses 15,17,18) was Number 3, and the law entered that Number 3 which before was error, might become criminal in the knowledge of the sinner. After this, where Number 1 abounded, grace did much more abound.

  2.  WICKEDNESS.

    1. poneria = depravity; iniquity, the wicked acting of the evil nature. See Number III. 1. below.

    2. kakia = depravity, the vicious disposition and desires, rather than the active exercise of them, which is Number 1 (poneria).

  3.  EVIL (Adj. and Noun).

    1. poneros = full of labours and pains in working mischief; evil intent (Matthew 12:39. Luke 11:29); grudging, in connection with the idea expressed in the "evil eye" (Matthew 6:23; 20:15. See the context, and compare Luke 11:13).

    2. kakos = depraved, bad in nature. Compare Number II. 2.

    3. anomos = lawless, contempt of law.

    4. anomia = lawlessness.

    5. athesmos = breaking through all restraints of ordinances of institutes, divine or human to gratify one's lusts. Occurs only in 2 Peter 2:7; 3:17.

    5. asebeia = impiety, absence of "the fear of God", having no reverence for sacred things; irreligious. Septuagint for pasha'. Appendix 44. ix.
