Does the word 'iniquity' in the Bible mean hidden sin?

In: The Bible [Edit categories]

Answer:

In New Testament passages such as Luke 13:27 and Acts 8:32 (among others), the Greek word translated "iniquity" is adikia (Strong #93) which means:
"(1) injustice, of a judge; (2) unrighteousness of heart and life; (3) a deed violating law and justice, an act of unrighteousness."
It doesn't necessarily carry the connotation of "hidden."
