The term describes what befits a situation, what ought to happen or be done. Paul uses it to describe behaviors 'not fitting' or 'not proper' (Romans 1:28, Acts 22:22). The word carries a sense of moral or social propriety—what accords with right order. In Acts 22:22, the crowd shouts that Paul 'ought not to live,' declaring him unfit for existence. In Romans 1:28, Paul describes humanity's descent into doing 'what is not fitting,' things that violate the natural and moral order. The term thus serves as a rubric for discerning what aligns with God's design versus what transgresses it.
