Mark 7:22 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Thefts, &c.— Thefts, avarice, malice, fraud, lasciviousness, envy, slander, pride, vanity: Mark 7:23. All these vices, &c. The word 'Αφροσυνη, which our bible translation renders foolishness, stands directly opposed to Σωφροσυνη, or sobriety of thought and discourse; and therefore particularly signifies the wild sallies of the imagination, and extravagant passions and appetites; and consequently must include a great many immoralities, not touched on in the preceding enumeration.
