²⁰ Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

¹³ Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

²² Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

⁴⁹ And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

³ For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

⁴ Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

¹³ And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹³ And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
