Timothy and Titus, are not inspired work original to Paul, but rather an unknown Christian writing some time in the late-1st to mid-2nd century. Most scholars now affirm this view. Jude 1:7 The expression of "giving themselves over to fornication" translates , , rendered as "sexual immorality" in both NIV and ESV; the phrase "going after strange flesh" is a literal translation of , rendered as "perversion" in NIV and as "pursued unnatural desire" in ESV.
