We had a discussion on another forum about the difference between the words "transgression", "iniquity" and "sin". Many believe they are the same thing but there seems to be a distinction between them all:

(KJV)
Exo 34:7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Now the NT in the KJV doesn't seem to show any difference in the meanings. So I'm trying to get some real interpretations of these words in the NT of the peshitta or otherwise as I figure there must be some form of translation issue in the NT of the KJV concerning the use of these two words.
