3 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 ; that which befalls one , that which one suffers . 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 .
