It implies a squandering of resources, both material and spiritual, in pursuit of hedonistic pleasures. In the New Testament, it is used to describe behaviors that are contrary to the disciplined and righteous life expected of believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, "asótia" was often associated with the behavior of those who lived extravagantly and without regard for societal norms or personal responsibility. Such lifestyles were typically marked by excessive drinking, sexual immorality, and wastefulness. The term would have been understood by early Christians as a warning against adopting the hedonistic practices prevalent in the surrounding pagan culture.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>810</b> <i>asōtía</i> (from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "without" and <a href="/greek/4982.htm">4982</a> <i>/sṓzō</i>, "save") – properly, what can't be saved (waste); (figuratively) <i>prodigality</i>, spiritual <i>wastefulness</i> due to excessive behavior and the <i>dire consequences</i> it brings.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/4982.htm">sózó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>unsavedness, i.e. wastefulness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dissipation (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 810: ἀσωτία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀσωτία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀσωτίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (the character of an <span class="greek2">ἄσωτος</span>, i. e. of an abandoned man, one that cannot be saved, from <span class="greek2">σαόω</span>, <span class="greek2">σόω</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">σῴζω</span> (<span class="greek2">ἄσωτος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 570); hence, properly, <span class="accented">incorrigibleness</span>), <span class="accented">an abandoned, dissolute, life; profligacy, prodigality</span> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
