| 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."

| 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.
