Mark 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness <aselgeia>, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
The word lasciviousness is the same word we see in the Bible for wantonness. These words are translated from the Greek word aselgeia ἀσέλγεια Pronounced as-elg’-i-a and given the Strong's number 766.
Aselgeia is a feminine noun from a compound the negative particle "a" and a presumed Greek word selges which apparently means continent.
It is translated lasciviousness six times and wantonnesstwice but also filthy once and is said to mean 1) unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness, shamelessness, insolence
If we were to seek synonyms for we could look at asotia ἀσωτία pronounced as-o-tee’-ah given the Strong's number 810. It is also from a Greek compound of the same negative particle and a presumed derivative of sozo meaning to to save, keep safe and sound,[1] and appearing over a hundred times in the Bible.
The word asotia translated riot twice but excess once and defined an abandoned, dissolute life or profligacy meaning wildly extravagant, prodigality meaning carelessly and foolishly spending money, time, etc..
The fundamental idea of asotia ἀσωτία is "wastefulness and riotous excess" and aselgeia ἀσέλγεια "lawless insolence and wanton caprice" or asotia ἀσωτία meaning reckless and extravagant expenditure, chiefly for the gratification of one’s desires all seem to denote the opposite of love and charity to others. Their common meaning denotes a selfish and self indulgent course of life but the fundamental thought is the acknowledging of lack of restraints or reckless squandering of resources in careless or foolish consumption and waste.
Mark 7:22 is found in the context of the Gospel and doctrine of Christ as a part of a warning starting with Mark 7:16:
- If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Here we see both lasciviousness and wantonness listed with adultery and fornication but also stealing and coveting as wickedness. Just being proud is listed with being foolish and evidently is also listed with blasphemy.
If we do not rush to label these attributes as sins but evidence of the spirit that dwelleth in our beings or leads our hearts as a people we may get greater insight into the truth or lie of our salvation. We clearly are not saved if these traits come fourth out of the actions and doing of our life.
Understanding the meaning and association of lasciviousness and wantonness their results can be seen both in the extravagant rich man who spends his wealth on himself rather than using it to strengthen his brothers or the poor man who is reckless and careless with his meager resources eventually becoming a burden on his neighbor.
We also see the word deceit mentioned which while not being an out right lie is defined as the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth. Both a lie and deceit are evidence of the presence of the same spirit or just the absence of the character or name of Christ.
This is why we see the word honestly in describing what our walk must be in Romans 13:13
- "Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness <aselgeia>, not in strife and envying."
2 Corinthians 12:21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness <aselgeia> which they have committed.
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness <aselgeia>,
Ephesians 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness <aselgeia>, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
1 Peter 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness <aselgeia>, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
2 Peter 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy <aselgeia> conversation of the wicked:
2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness <aselgeia>, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness <aselgeia>, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
