Asunthetos describes a person placed among a list of morally deficient qualities in Romans 1:31.

The sole attested use places the term among a series of adverse personal qualities in Romans 1:31; the verse supports its use for an unfavorable characterization, while the translation does not isolate its precise English equivalent.

    In Romans 1:31, the accusative plural masculine form appears in a sequence of qualities. The APB renders the verse, "Foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless," but, as a translation not aligned word by word, it does not identify which item corresponds to this form.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Romans 1:31, the APB presents a compressed list—"Foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless." Its specific rendering of this term cannot be isolated.
