From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Concubine
      in the Bible denotes a female conjugally united to a man, but in
      a relation inferior to that of a wife. Among the early Jews,
      from various causes, the difference between a wife and a
      concubine was less marked than it would be amongst us. The
      concubine was a wife of secondary rank. There are various laws
      recorded providing for their protection (Ex. 21:7; Deut.
      21:10-14), and setting limits to the relation they sustained to
      the household to which they belonged (Gen. 21:14; 25:6). They
      had no authority in the family, nor could they share in the
      household government.
     
         The immediate cause of concubinage might be gathered from the
      conjugal histories of Abraham and Jacob (Gen. 16;30). But in
      process of time the custom of concubinage degenerated, and laws
      were made to restrain and regulate it (Ex. 21:7-9).
     
         Christianity has restored the sacred institution of marriage
      to its original character, and concubinage is ranked with the
      sins of fornication and adultery (Matt. 19:5-9; 1 Cor. 7:2).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Concupiscence
      desire, Rom. 7:8 (R.V., "coveting"); Col. 3:5 (R.V., "desire").
      The "lust of concupiscence" (1 Thess. 4:5; R.V., "passion of
      lust") denotes evil desire, indwelling sin.
