Related to akrasia, the word akrates is used once (2 Tim. 3:3), and it means incontinent. It is found in the middle of some other bad company — “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Tim. 3:2-5). Sins are clearly like grapes. They come in bunches.
