A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g93 Greek: adikia

Unrighteousness:

denotes

(a) "injustice," Luk 18:6, lit., "the judge of injustice;" Rom 9:14;

(b) "unrighteousness, iniquity," e.g., Luk 16:8, lit., "the steward of unrighteousness," RV marg., i.e., characterized by "unrighteousness;" Rom 1:18, 29; 2:8; 3:5; 6:13; 1Cr 13:6, RV, "unrighteousness;" 2Th 2:10, "[with all (lit., in every) deceit] of unrighteousness," i.e., deceit such as "unrighteousness" uses, and that in every variety; Antichrist and his ministers will not be restrained by any scruple from words or deeds calculated to deceive; 2Th 2:12, of those who have pleasure in it, not an intellectual but a moral evil; distate for truth is the precursor of the rejection of it; 2Ti 2:19, RV; 1Jo 1:9, which includes

(c) "a deed or deeds violating law and justice" (virtually the same as adikema, "an unrighteous act"), e.g., Luk 13:27, "iniquity;" 2Cr 12:13, "wrong," the wrong of depriving another of what is his own, here ironically of a favor; Hbr 8:12, 1st clause, "iniquities," lit., "unrighteousness" (plural, not as AV); 2Pe 2:13, 15, RV, "wrongdoing," AV, "unrighteousness;" 1Jo 5:17.
See INIQUITY.

Notes:

(1) In 2Cr 6:14, AV, anomia, "lawlessness," is translated "unrighteousness" (RV, "iniquity").

(2) Adikia is the comprehensive term for wrong, or wrongdoing, as between persons; anomia, "lawlessness," is the rejection of Divine law, or wrong committed against it.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g91 Greek: adikeo

Unrighteousness:

"to do wrong," is rendered in Rev 22:11, RV, firstly, "he that is unrighteous," lit., "the doer of unrighteousness" (present participle of the verb, with the article), secondly, "let him do unrighteousness (still)," the retributive and permanent effect of a persistent course of unrighteous-doing (AV, "he that is unjust, let him be unjust").
See HURT, OFFENDER, Note, WRONG.
