| Ephesians 4:19
| Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
| Who despairing,{ Ver. 19. Deperantes. The Latin interpreter seems to have read apelpikotes, as in some manuscripts, but in most other copies apelgekotes, indolentes. See St. Jerome in his Commentary, p. 368.|} (without faith and charity) according to the Latin text and some Greek manuscripts; though according to the ordinary Greek, without grief or sorrow, (to wit, for their sins) have given themselves over to all manner of vices, unto covetousness.{ Ver. 19. In avaritiam: en pleonexia, in cupiditate. See ver. 3. of the next chapter.|} Some take notice that the Greek word may not only signify avarice, or covetousness of money, but any unsatiable desires or lusts. See Ephesians 5:3. and 5:5. (Witham)
