Implacable: Unyielding; Obstinate.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, IMPLACABLE, unmerciful. (Romans 1:28-31)
1 | Strong's Number: g786 | Greek: aspondos |
Implacable:
lit. denotes "without a libation" (a, negative, sponde, "a libation"), i.e., "without a truce," as a libation accompanied the making of treaties and compacts; then, "one who cannot be persuaded to enter into a covenant," "implacable," 2Ti 3:3 (AV, "truce-breakers"). Some mss. have this word in Rom 1:31.
Note: Trench (Syn. lii) contrasts aspondos with asunthetos; see Note under COVENANT-BREAKERS. Aspondos may signify "untrue to one's promise," asunthetos "not abiding by one's covenant, treacherous."
