{Of adultery} (moichalidos). Rather, "of an adulteress,"
like  Jas 4:4 . Vivid picture of a man who cannot see a woman
without lascivious thoughts toward her (Mayor). Cf.  Mt 5:28 .
{That cannot cease} (akatapastous). Reading of A B in place of
akatapaustous (alpha privative and verbal of katapau(935c), to
cease). "Unable to stop." This a late verbal, only here in N.T.
It is probable that akatapastous is merely a misspelling of
akatapaustous. {From sin} (hamartias). Ablative case as in
 1Pe 4:1  (hamartias). Insatiable lust. {Enticing}
(deleazontes). Present active participle of deleaz(935c), to catch
by bait as in verse  18  Jas 1:14 . {Unsteadfast}
(ast(8872)iktous). Late verbal adjective (alpha privative and
st(8872)iz(935c)), in Longinus and Vettius Valens, here alone in N.T.
{Exercised} (gegumnasmen(886e)). Perfect passive predicate
participle with echontes, from gumnaz(935c) precisely as in  Heb
5:14 . Rhetorical metaphor from the gymnasium. {In covetousness}
(pleonexias). Genitive case after the participle. {Children of
cursing} (kataras tekna). Hebraism like 	ekna hupako(8873) in
 1Pe 1:14  = accursed (kataratoi).
