    In 1 Peter 4:3, the dative plural masculine form πότοις occurs within a list of practices said to have characterized those who carried out the Gentiles’ plan; the APB renders the list with “carousings” among other excesses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 4:3, the APB includes “carousings” in the verse’s list of former practices. Its precise correspondence to the Greek item cannot be isolated beyond that list context.
