A — 1: ἀσωτία

(Strong's #810 — — astia — as-o-tee'-ah )

"prodigality, a wastefulness, profligacy" (a negative, sozo, "to save") is rendered "riot" in Ephesians 5:18 , RV (AV, "excess"); Titus 1:6; 1 Peter 4:4 (AV and RV, "riot"). The corresponding verb is found in a papyrus writing, telling of "riotous living" (like the adverb asotos, see B). In the Sept., Proverbs 28:7 . Cp. the synonymous word aselgeia (under LASCIVIOUSNESS).

"wastefully" (akin to A, No. 1), is translated "with riotous living" in Luke 15:13; though the word does not necessarily signify "dissolutely," the parable narrative makes clear that this is the meaning here. In the Sept., Proverbs 7:11 .

Note: The verb ekchuno, a Hellenistic form of ekcheo (though the form actually used is the regular classical aorist Passive of ekcheo), "to pour out, shed," is translated "ran riotously" in Jude 1:11 , RV (AV, "ran greedily"); see POUR , SHED.
