athemitos describes conduct treated as prohibited, whether social contact or idolatrous practice.

The two attestations describe what is treated as prohibited: in Acts 10:28, joining or coming near to a foreign person, and in 1 Peter 4:3, idolatries within a list of past practices.

1. Conduct regarded as prohibited · dominant

   In Acts 10:28, the neuter singular form stands in the assertion about a Jewish man being joined to or coming near to a foreign person; the APB renders the clause, "You know how unlawful it is." In 1 Peter 4:3, the dative plural feminine form qualifies idolatries in a list that also includes debaucheries, desires, drunkennesses, orgies, and carousings; the APB renders "unlawful idolatries."

   Acts 10:281 Peter 4:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "unlawful" in both verses, once for the stated restriction on joining or coming near and once with "idolatries." These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek term.
