This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

To them that are defiled (tois memiammenois). Perfect passive articular participle of miainō, old verb, to dye with another colour, to stain, in N.T. only here, Jud 1:8; Heb 12:15. See memiantai (perf. pass. indic.) in this verse. Molunō (1Co 8:7) is to smear.

Unbelieving (apistois). As in 1Co 7:12.; 1Ti 5:8. The principle or proverb just quoted appears also in 1Co 6:12; 1Co 10:23; Rom 14:20. For the defilement of mind (nous) and conscience (suneidēsis) in both Gentile and Jew by sin, see Romans 1:18-2:29.
