“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
“And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; ”
“Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,”
“And do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled by the Spirit,”
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit,”
“And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;”
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
And so, brothers, see to it that you walk cautiously, not like the foolish,
but like the wise: atoning for this age, because this is an evil time.
For this reason, do not choose to be imprudent. Instead, understand what is the will of God.
And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
speaking among yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and reciting psalms to the Lord in your hearts,
giving thanks always for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God the Father.
Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
