Context: The term οἰνοφλυγία is used in the New Testament to describe a state of moral and spiritual degradation resulting from excessive wine consumption. It is often associated with behaviors that are contrary to the Christian virtues of self-control and sobriety. In 1 Peter 4:3, the apostle Peter admonishes believers to abandon their past sinful behaviors, including οἰνοφλυγία, as part of their new life in Christ: "For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry" (BSB). This passage highlights the transformation expected of Christians, moving away from a lifestyle characterized by excess and indulgence to one marked by holiness and self-discipline.
