Lewdness

(Acts 18:14), villany or wickedness, not lewdness in the modern sense of the word. The word “lewd” is from the Saxon, and means properly “ignorant,” “unlearned,” and hence low, vicious (Acts 17:5).

LEWD'NESS. This word, which occurs Acts 18:14, is not used there in its present common acceptation, but in the wider sense of "wicked" or "villany." See Rev. Version.
