KJV term for an unbridled expression of sexual urges (Mark 7:22; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; 1 Peter 4:3; Jude 1:4 ). RSV translated the underlying Greek as licentiousness; the NAS, as sensuality. Other translations used a variety of terms: debauchery; indecency; lewdness; sexual sin.
