249 álogos (from 1 /A "not" and 3056 /lógos, "reason") – properly, counter to reason; "unreasonable" – literally, "non-reason, no-logic."

249 /álogos ("unreasonable") refers to irrational behavior (thinking) from God's point of view, i.e. what is completely against divine reason. 249 (álogos) means "acting like a brute beast" (see Jude 10), i.e. utterly unreasonable (absurd).

[249 (álogos) describes behavior that lacks sound moral (spiritual) reasoning.]
