“Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,”
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips. The catalogue of vices (katalogos kakōn) erupting from the corrupted mind encompasses personal sins (greed, envy), relational sins (murder, strife), and social sins (deceit, gossip). These behaviors demonstrate the comprehensive nature of the fall into sin: it touches every dimension of human existence and relationship.
