Astorgos describes people listed for a lack of feeling or compassion in Scripture.

The two occurrences use the adjective for people included in negative lists: in 2 Timothy 3:3 and Romans 1:31, the APB places them among traits such as irreconcilability, brutality, faithlessness, and ruthlessness.

Senses in use

  1. People marked by a lack of compassion · dominant

    In 2 Timothy 3:3, the nominative plural masculine form occurs in a list describing people as “unfeeling,” alongside irreconcilable and brutal conduct. In Romans 1:31, the accusative plural masculine form occurs in a sequence that the APB renders “Foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term within negative character lists, using “unfeeling” in 2 Timothy 3:3 and “heartless” in Romans 1:31. These renderings indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than a precise token-by-token equivalence.
