For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.
lasciviousness: The word "lasciviousness" (aselgia) means "unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence" (Thayer 79-2-766). "Lasciviousness" is the translation of a word which refers to actions that excite disgust and shock public decency. In the New Testament, the prominent idea in the word is that of sensuality (Wuest, I Peter 112).
