(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Being past feeling (apēlgēkotes). Perfect active participle of apalgeō, old word to cease to feel pain, only here in N.T.
To lasciviousness (tēi aselgeiāi). Unbridled lust as in 2Co 12:21; Gal 5:19.
To work all uncleanness (eis ergasian akatharsias pasēs). Perhaps prostitution, “for a trading (or work) in all uncleanness.” Certainly Corinth and Ephesus could qualify for this charge.
With greediness (en pleonexiāi). From pleonektēs, one who always wants more whether money or sexual indulgence as here. The two vices are often connected in the N.T.
