In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as filled with, which is consistent across several translations including the KJV and ASV.

See how everything here is intensitive. For he says, "being filled," and "with all," and having named maliciousness in general, he also further pursues the particulars, and these too in excess, saying, "Full of envy,Early Church Fathers on Romans 1 →

πληρόω (plēroō) means to fill or fulfill, often used in both literal and figurative senses. It can refer to filling physical objects, completing tasks, or fulfilling prophecies, as seen in passages like Matthew 1:22. The word is derived from a root meaning to make full and covers a range of uses, including filling with influence or completing a period.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

ἀδικία (adikia) refers to injustice or unrighteousness, derived from the word for 'unjust.' It encompasses moral wrongfulness and can denote both the quality of being unjust and the acts that stem from it. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Luke 18:6 and Romans 1:18. The term is also associated with deceitfulness and wrongdoing.

The Greek word πορνεία (porneia) primarily means fornication or sexual immorality, encompassing various illicit sexual acts. It is distinguished from μοιχεία (moicheia), which specifically refers to adultery. The term also metaphorically signifies idolatry, reflecting a broader moral context. It appears multiple times in the New Testament, addressing both sexual conduct and spiritual unfaithfulness.

ἹΠορνεία (for form see WH Woeres?, p. 160), which is rare in classical Greek (LS® refer only to Demosthenes) originally meant “‘ prostitution,” ‘‘ fornication,” but came to be applied to unlawful sexual intercourse generally. It was a wider term than μοιχεία, embracing the idea of ‘‘ barter,” ‘‘ traffic ” in sexual vice, though in the OT there was a tendency to assimilate in some respects the two terms: see R. H. Charles as cited s.v. potxebw, and for an ex. of the word from the papyri P Tebt II. 2761 as cited s.v. μοιχεία.

πονηρία is a feminine noun meaning wickedness or iniquity, derived from πονηρός. It encompasses moral badness, vice, and malice, and appears in various New Testament contexts, including Matthew 22:18 and Acts 3:26. The term can also refer to evil dispositions of mind and is sometimes associated with plots or wicked deeds.

1. In the Old Testament:
The state of being wicked; a mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honor, virtue; evil in thought and life; depravity; sinfulness; criminality. See SIN. Many words are rendered "wickedness." There are many synonyms for wickedness in English and also in the Hebrew. Pride and vanity lead to it: "All the proud, and all that work wickedness (rish`ah) shall be stubble" (Mal 4:1). Akin to this is the word `awen, "iniquity," "vanity": "She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness" (Pr 30:20). Then we have the word hawwah, meaning "mischief," "calamity," coming from inward intent upon evil: "Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in…

The Greek word πλεονεξία (i.e., *pleonexia*) refers to greediness or covetousness, characterized by a desire for more than one's due. It encompasses aggressive behavior aimed at gaining advantage, often linked to extortion or fraud. The New Testament uses it in several passages, including Luke 12:15 and Romans 1:29. Lexicons note its distinction from related terms like φιλαργυρία, which emphasizes a more passive form of greed.
BretwrEEn these words the same distinction exists as between our ‘ covetousness’ and ‘avarice,’ as between the German ‘Habsucht’ and ‘Geiz.’ Πλεονεξία, primarily the having more, and then in a secondary and more usual G 82 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ὃ xxiv. sense, the desire after the having more, is the more active sin, φιλαργυρία the more passive: the first, the ‘amor sceleratus habendi,’ seeks rather to grasp what it has not ; the second, to retain, and, by accumulating, to multiply that which it already has. The first, in its methods of acquiring, will be often bold and aggressive; even as it may, and often will, be as free in scattering and squandering, as it was eager and unscrupulous in getting: the πλεονέκτης will be often ‘ rapti largitor,’ as was Catiline ; characterizing whom Cicero demands (Pro Owl. 6): “ Quis in rapacitate avarior? quis in largitione effusior?’ even as…

kuv'-et-us-nes: Has a variety of shades of meaning determined largely by the nature of the particular word used, or the context, or both. Following are some of the uses:
(1) To gain dishonestly (batsa`), e.g. the King James Version Ex 18:21; Eze 33:31.
(2) The wish to have more than one possesses, inordinately, of course (pleonexia), e.g. Lu 12:15; 1Th 2:5.
Covetousness
A strong desire after the possession of worldly things (Col. 3:5; Eph. 5:5; Heb. 13:5; 1 Tim. 6:9, 10; Matt. 6:20). It assumes sometimes the more aggravated form of avarice, which is the mark of cold-hearted worldliness.

κακία (kakia) refers to badness or moral wickedness, contrasting with excellence. It encompasses concepts like depravity, malignity, and trouble, appearing in various New Testament passages such as Acts 8:22 and Romans 1:29. The term also has a broader usage in late Greek, indicating evil or misfortune, as noted in Matthew 6:34. Notably, the lexicons agree on its meanings without significant disagreement.
κακία, -as, ἡ, (kaxds), [fr. Theognis down], Sept. chiefly for }9, and ΠΡ; 1. malignity, malice, ill-will, desire toinjure: Ro.i. 29; Eph. iv. 31; Col. iii. 8; Tit. iii. $; Jas. i. 21; 1 Pet. ii. 1. 2. wickedness, depravity: 1 Co. v. 8 [ef. W. 120 (114)]; xiv. 20; Acts viii. 22 (ef. 21); wickedness that is not ashamed to break the laws, 1 Pet. ii. 16. 3. Hellenistically, evil, trouble: Mt. vi. 34 (as Amos iii. 6; [1 S. vi. 9]; Eccl. vii. 15 (14); xii. 1; Sir. xix. 6; 1 Mace. vii. 23, ete.).
κακία is used in P Petr II. 23(1)9 (Ptol.) ἰδ[όϊντες τὴν κακίαν τῶν ἡμῶν, apparently of the damage done to a crop of rye and barley by hail (?): cf. P Flor 11. 176% (A.D. 256) ἐκ τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας. In P Petr II. 19(2)5 (Ptol.) διὰ τὴν ἐν[εστ]ῶσαν Ὁ κακίαν, the reference is to the *‘idleness ueqore| certain workmen. For the stronger meaning ‘‘ malice,” τε wickedness,” see P Rein 715 (B.c. 141?) διὰ πάση]ς ἡσυχίας εἶχον τῶι μηδεμίαν ἔννοιαν [κ]ακίας ἔχειν, “je restai complétement tranquille, n’ayant aucun soupgon qwil me cherchat malice” (Ed.), P Oxy VIII. 1101?

The Greek word μεστός (*mestos*) means 'full' or 'filled,' both literally and metaphorically. It is often used with a genitive to indicate what something is full of, such as thoughts or emotions. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like John 19:29 and James 3:8, where it describes fullness in various contexts.
μεστός, τἡ, -ov, fr. Hom. [i. 6. Epigr.] down, Sept. for NOD, full; w. gen. of the thing: prop., Jn. xix. 29; xxi. 11; Jas. iii. 8; trop. in reference to persons, whose minds are as it were filled with thoughts and emotions, either good or bad, Mt. xxiii. 28; Ro. i. 29; xv. 14; 2 Pet. ii. 14; Jas. iii. 17, (Prov. vi. 34).

The Greek word φθόνος (i.e., *phthonos*) means envy or jealousy, often associated with ill-will towards others' good fortune. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Romans 1:29 and Matthew 27:18.

"Envy," from Latin in, "against," and video, "to look," "to look with ill-will," etc., toward another, is an evil strongly condemned in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is to be distinguished from jealousy. "We are jealous of our own; we are envious of another man's possessions. Jealousy fears to lose what it has; envy is pained at seeing another have" (Crabb's English Synonyms). In the Old Testament it is the translation of qin'ah from kana', "to redden," "to glow" (Job 5:2, the Revised Version (British and American) "jealousy," margin "indignation"; in Isa 26:11 the Revised Version (British and American) renders "see thy zeal for the people"; Pr 27:4, etc.); the verb occurs in…

The Greek word φόνος (i.e., phonos) means murder or slaughter. It is used in various contexts, including legal and poetic, and appears multiple times in the New Testament, particularly in references to acts of killing. The word is derived from a root meaning 'to slay' and encompasses both intentional murder and broader acts of violence.

Murder
Wilful murder was distinguished from accidental homicide, and was invariably visited with capital punishment (Num. 35:16, 18, 21, 31; Lev. 24:17). This law in its principle is founded on the fact of man’s having been made in the likeness of God (Gen. 9:5, 6; John 8:44; 1 John 3:12, 15). The Mosiac law prohibited any compensation for murder or the reprieve of the murderer (Ex. 21:12, 14; Deut. 19:11, 13; 2 Sam. 17:25; 20:10). Two witnesses were required…
The law of Moses, while it protected the accidental homicide, defined with additional strictness the crime of murder. It prohibited compensation or reprieve of the murderer, or his protection if he took refuge in the refuge city, or even at the altar of Jehovah. (Exodus 21:12,14; Leviticus 24:17,21; 1 Kings 2:5,6,31) The duty of executing punishment on the murderer is in the law expressly laid on the "revenger of blood;" but the question of guilt was to be previously decided by the Levitical tribunal. In regal times the duty of execution of justice on a murderer seems to have been assumed to some extent by the sovereign, as was also the privilege of pardon. (2 Samuel…
The designed and malevolent taking of human life, was by the original appointment of God, a crime to be punished by death. Cain, the first murderer, recognized it as such, Ge 4:14. The ground for the death penalty for murder is the eminent dignity and sacredness of man as a child of God, Ge 9:5-6. Like the Sabbath and marriage, it is a primeval and universal institution for mankind, and all nations have so recognized it, Ac 28:4. The Mosaic code reenacted it, Le 24:17; and while providing for the unintentional homicide a safe retreat, declares that deliberate murder must be punished by death, from which neither the city of refuge nor the altar of God could shield the…

δόλος refers to deceit, guile, or craftiness, often used in contexts involving trickery or entrapment. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Matthew 26:4 and Mark 7:22. The word is derived from a root meaning to decoy, and it encompasses a range of meanings related to cunning and fraud. Notably, Abbott-Smith mentions its use in the Septuagint for the Hebrew term for deceit.
THE only passage in the N. T. in which θεράπων occurs is Heb. iii. 5: ‘‘ And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant” (ὡς θεράπων). The allusion here to Num. xii. 7 is manifest, where the Septuagint has given θεράπων as its rendering of 12; it has done the same elsewhere (Exod. iv. 10; Deut. iii. 24; Josh. i. 2), yet has not made this its constant rule, frequently rendering it not by θεράπων, but by δοῦλος, out of which latter rendering, no doubt, we have at Rev. xv. 8, the phrase, Μωῦσῆς ὃ δοῦλος τοῦ Θεοῦ.

The Greek word κακοήθεια (kakoētheia) is derived from κακός (bad) and ἦθος (character), and it refers to malignity or bad disposition. It appears in the New Testament in Romans 1:29, where it denotes a depraved character or evil-mindedness. The term also has broader uses in classical literature, including bad manners and malignant traits.
