The genitive forms occur with profane empty talk in 2 Timothy 2:16 and with works and hard speech in Jude 1:15; in Jude 1:18, the plural form is associated with desires followed by mockers. The accusative singular is what divine wrath is against in Romans 1:18 and what is to be renounced in Titus 2:12, while Romans 11:26 presents it as turned away from Jacob. In these clauses, the APB renders the broader pattern with "ungodliness" and "ungodly."
