Oinophlugia denotes a drinking-related excess listed among a former pattern of conduct in 1 Peter 4:3.

Its sole attested use places it among practices described as part of a past pattern of conduct, in a list that includes debaucheries, desires, orgies, carousings, and unlawful idolatries.

Senses in use

  1. Drinking-related excess in former conduct · dominant

    In 1 Peter 4:3, the dative plural noun occurs within a list of conduct said to have been carried out in the past. The APB renders the surrounding list with “debaucheries, desires, drunkennesses, orgies, carousings, and unlawful idolatries,” confirming a drinking-related excess within that catalog.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 4:3, the APB includes “drunkennesses” within the verse's list of former practices. That wording cannot isolate the lemma's precise contribution from the surrounding items.
