Chambering:

(Rom 13:13), wantonness, impurity.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Chambering:

cham'-ber-ing: Illicit intercourse; the rendering in English Versions of the Bible since Tyndale of koitias (literally "beds," Ro 13:13). The Greek usage is paralleled in classic authors and the Septuagint; like the English participle, it denotes repeated or habitual acts. The word is not recorded elsewhere in English literature as verb or participle in this sense; in Othello, iii, 3, a chamberer is an intriguer, male wanton, in Byron, Werner, IV, 1, 404, a gallant or carpet knight, and in Chaucer, Clerk's Tale, 766, a concubine.

King James Dictionary

Chambering: Sexual Immorality; Lewdness.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in CHAMBERING and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (Romans 13:12-13)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2845 Greek: koite

Chambering:

primarily a place in which to lie down, hence, "a bed, especially the marriage bed," denotes, in Rom 13:13, "illicit intercourse."
See BED, CONCEIVE.
