Strong's Lexicon oinophlugia: Drunkenness, debauchery Original Word: οἰνοφλυγία Word Origin: Derived from two Greek words: οἶνος (oinos), meaning "wine," and φλύω (phluo), meaning "to bubble up" or "to overflow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "oinophlugia," the concept of drunkenness and its associated behaviors can be found in several Hebrew words, such as שִׁכָּרוֹן (shikkaron), meaning "drunkenness," and סָבָא (saba), meaning "to drink heavily." Usage: The term "oinophlugia" refers to excessive indulgence in wine, leading to drunkenness and a lifestyle characterized by debauchery and moral laxity. It conveys a sense of overindulgence that results in a loss of self-control and a departure from righteous living. In the New Testament, it is used to warn against the dangers of such behavior and to encourage believers to live sober and disciplined lives. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, wine was a common part of daily life and social gatherings. However, excessive drinking was often associated with moral decay and was frowned upon by philosophers and moralists of the time. The early Christian community, living within this cultural context, was called to distinguish itself by practicing moderation and self-control, avoiding the excesses that were prevalent in society.
