The Greek word ἄμετρος (ametros) conveys a sense of immoderation. In essence, it suggests a lack of balance or restraint in some quality or action. When used to describe a person, it implies an excessive or uncontrolled behavior in emotions, desires, or actions. In its two occurrences in the Bible, the word likely emphasizes the idea of unrestrained passion, unchecked enthusiasm, or unbridled ambition. This sense of immoderation may have negative connotations, implying overstepping or going too far. The word does not carry a positive, neutral, or context-dependent meaning in this data. Without more information on the context of the two biblical occurrences, it's challenging to determine the word's precise significance, but the core idea of immoderation is its clear defining characteristic.
