LICENTIOUSNESS, unrestrained indecency — sensuality with no shame or brake, flaunted rather than hidden. Jude's charge is exact: the false teachers 'turn the grace of our God into ASELGEIA' (1:4), making forgiveness a licence and grace an excuse for the very thing it saves from. It heads Paul's works-of-the-flesh (Galatians 5:19) and names the old life's abandon (1 Peter 4:3). → first discussed at Jude 1:4
