Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Note 10 at Eph. 4:19: This verse makes it very clear that lasciviousness, uncleanness and greed don't just happen. You have to "give" yourself over to these things. People willfully ignore (2 Pet. 3:5) this truth that sin has to be conceived (see note 17 at Mt. 5:28, p. 130) and indulge in all manner of things that engender results they don't want. Those who don't want to sin need to be just as concerned about the conception as they are the actual birth or committing of sin.
