Akrasia denotes a lack of restraint shown in temptation and in inwardly corrupt indulgence.

The attested usage presents a lack of restraint in two settings: temptation arising from a lack of self-control in 1 Corinthians 7:5 and the inward condition criticized in Matthew 23:25.

   In 1 Corinthians 7:5, the accusative singular occurs in the warning that Satan may tempt the couple; the APB renders the clause "because of your lack of self-control." In Matthew 23:25, the genitive singular occurs in the contrast between cleansed exteriors and interiors full of plunder and excess; the APB renders the latter as "self-indulgence."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with "lack of self-control" in 1 Corinthians 7:5 and "self-indulgence" in Matthew 23:25. These renderings indicate the verses' presentation rather than establishing separate meanings.
