What Does “Convenient” Mean in the Bible?
In the King James Bible, “Convenient” means “fitting” in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.
What Was Lost
The moral architecture of the word. When Paul said certain behaviors were 'not convenient,' he did not mean they were inconvenient or hard to schedule. He meant they did not fit -- they were morally incoherent, actions that violated the created order. Convenience was a moral category before it became a consumer preference.
