Different words with the same meaning. This
No sin can outdo what has been done.
When the Christ worked on the Cross, He worked to balance the scale of all sin.
When the Christ died, He died having completing the work.
God is not surprised by sin.
Nothing can be added to the balance of sin, no matter how much man trespasses from that point forward, until man can act no more.
All done, all paid.

A licence to sin.
I taught my sons how to drive (the girls still a little bit too young yet), then sent them to the required classes for licensing in our state.
Once they passed their tests and were given a driver's license, I gave them a car to drive.
The car they drive has a speedometer which indicates the speed of their forward movements from zero to 140 MPH--- although it's a little four banger and I think the highest I ever got the thing was 95.
They could conceivably drive the far as fast as it can go, but that isn't a power imparted to them by their licenses, nor were they given the green light by me to drive the car at those excess speeds.
In fact, they were told in advance of driving on their own how a single speeding ticket would mean their privileges would be taken from them.
Just because they have a license, and just because their car allows them to speed, doesn't mean I allow it... even if I can't immediately stop it by virtue of the freedom I gave them.
At some point, either physics or new information will step in with either deadly or merely restrictive consequences.
