'Lawlessness' in the Bible

Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness beyond Thy companions."
