Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:19 Go To Ephesians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
If the cause of their licentiousness is ignorance, why reproach them? Why not just inform them? For the one who is ignorant should not justly be punished or reproached but taught what he does not know. But how quickly Paul takes away from them this easy excuse: “They have become callous and given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.” … He shows here that the cause of their hardening was their own voluntary way of life. Their way of life arose freely out of their own laxity and lack of remorse. .
