ASELGEIA

D

ASELGEIA:
A most interesting Greek word in our New Testament.

In Mark 7:22 it is translated "lasciviousness" and Jesus say's it proceeds from the heart.(The flesh,the sinful nature,the Adamic nature)

In Romans 13:13 it is translated "wantonness" and is a sin the believers are warned against.

In 2 Corinth.12:21 it is translated "lasciviousness" and was one of the evils practiced in the church at Corinth and they hadn't repented of.

In Galatians 5:19 it is translated "lasciviousness" and is listed among the works of the flesh over against the fruit of the Spirit listed in Verses 22,23.

In Ephesians 4:19 it is translated "lasciviousness" and is one of the sins of the unregenerate and for the believers to put off such desires of the old nature.

In 1Peter 4:3 it is translated "lasciviousness" and refers to the same thing as Eph.4;19 as a sin of the unregenerate and we should no longer live our lives with those cravings but to have the same mind as Christ who died for our sins and has been raised from the dead and we should likewise consider ourselves dead unto sin and alive unto God.

In 2Peter 2:7 it is translated "filthy" and speaks of the lifestyle of the ones in Sodom and Gomorrah.

In 2Peter 2:18 it is translated "wantonness" and refers to false teachers and their "great swelling words of vanity or emptiness."

In Jude 4 it is translated "lasciviousness" and is the clincher.Here ungodly men are turning the Grace of our God into this.

So it comes from the heart.(Mark 7:22)
Works of darkness,lack of honesty,walk of the unsaved life.(Rom.13:13,1Peter 4:3)
Seemingly has no restraint or need to repent in the minds that commit it.(2 Corinth.12:21)
Is opposite of the fruit of the Spirit.(Gal.5:19)
Is the ones that are past feelings.(no morals)(Eph.4:19)
A filthy lifestyle like the ones in Sodom and Gomorrah (2Peter 2:7)
They allure through lusts of the flesh with great swelling words of emptiness.(2Peter 2:18)
Ungodly men who have crept in unaware and are turning the Grace of God into this.(Jude 4)
I think they are saying as a result of God's Grace this type of lifestyle should be permitted and sanctioned by the Church and approved of by believers.Seemingly a deceptive lifestyle that permits one to be convinced that evil is good and good is evil.
