- καταστρηνιάω katastrēniáō · G2691 · passion, lust, lustful desire
- Both terms can describe passionate or lustful desire. However, καταστρηνιάω specifically denotes the action of becoming wantonly desirous in a way that violates propriety or commitment, while πάθημα is a broader term encompassing any experience undergone by a subject -- including suffering, hardship, or emotional influence -- with lustful passion being only one specialized use among its range of meanings.
