What 'Regarding Iniquity' Means
Commentators clarify that "regarding iniquity" is not about simply being aware of sin in your heart, which is common to all believers. Instead, it refers to intentionally cherishing sin, delighting in it, planning to commit it, or being unwilling to forsake it. It's an attitude of approval and attachment to sin, not just the struggle against it.
