Answer

Because man has been given free choice, it is possible for a righteous man to change his mind by turning away from his righteousness. In the same way, a sinner can choose to turn away from his sinfulness. The word “iniquity” in the above text means purposeful sin or choosing to disobey God’s law with the knowledge that it is wrong.
