Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g3806 Greek: pathos

Affection (-s), Affected:

from pascho, "to suffer," primarily denotes whatever one suffers or experiences in any way; hence, "an affection of the mind, a passionate desire." Used by the Greeks of either good or bad desires, it is always used in the NT of the latter, Rom 1:26 (AV, "affections," RV, "passions"); Col 3:5 (AV, "inordinate affection," RV, "passion"); 1Th 4:5 (AV, "lust," RV, "passion").
See LUST.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g4698 Greek: splanchna

Affection (-s), Affected:

lit., "the bowels," which were regarded by the Greeks as the seat of the more violent passions, by the Hebrews as the seat of the tender "affections;" hence the word denotes "tender mercies" and is rendered "affections" in 2Cr 6:12 (AV, "bowels"); "inward affection," 2Cr 7:15.
See BOWELS,COMPASSION, HEART, MERCY. Cp. epithumia, "desire."

A-3 Noun Strong's Number: g3804 Greek: pathema

Affection (-s), Affected:

akin to No. 1, translated "affections" in Gal 5:24, AV, is correct to "passions" in the RV.
See AFFLICTION, B. No. 3.

B-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g794 Greek: astorgos

Affection (-s), Affected:

signifies "without natural affection" (a, negative, and storge, "love of kindred," especially of parents for children and children for parents; a fanciful etymology associates with this the "stork"), Rom 1:31; 2Ti 3:3.

B-2 Adjective Strong's Number: g5387 Greek: philostorgos

Affection (-s), Affected:

"tenderly loving" (from philos, "friendly," storge, see No. 1), is used in Rom 12:10, RV, "tenderly affectioned" (AV, "kindly affectioned").

Notes:

(1) Phroneo, "to think, to set the mind on," implying moral interest and reflection, is translated "set your affection on" in Col 3:2, AV (RV, "set your mind on").
See CAREFUL, MIND, REGARD, SAVOR, THINK, UNDERSTAND.

(2) For homeiromai (or himeiromai), "to be affectionately desirous of," 1Th 2:8, see DESIRE.
