What it means

What the word means, in the words of the lexicons out of copyright — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones, wherever each has an entry for it.

πάθος, -ους, τό

(< πάσχω), [in LXX: Jb 30:31 (אֵבֶל), Pr 25:20, and very freq. in IV Mac (1:1 ff., al.)*;] like πάθημα;

1. that which befalls one, that which one suffers.

2. a passive emotion or affection (esp. of violent emotion), a passion, passionate desire; in NT always in bad sense: Col 3:5; π. ἀτιμίας, Ro 1:26; π. ἐπιθυμίας, I Th 4:5.†

SYN.: π. = πάθημα, exc. that πάθημα is the more concrete and particular. In NT usage, π. represents the passive, ungoverned aspect of evil desire, as opp. to ἐπιθυμία, which is the active and also the more comprehensive term (v. Tr., Syn., lxxxvii); cf. also ὄρεξις.
