'Lawlessness' in the Bible
and then will I avow unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, workers of lawlessness.
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
Thus also ye, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
Be not diversely yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? or what fellowship of light with darkness?
For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only there is he who restrains now until he be gone,
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.
Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.
Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
