Usage: The term μέθυσος is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are characterized by excessive drinking and intoxication. It is often used in moral and ethical teachings to warn against the dangers and sinful nature of drunkenness. Context: The Greek term μέθυσος appears in the New Testament as a descriptor for individuals who are given to excessive drinking. This term is used in contexts that highlight the moral and spiritual dangers associated with drunkenness. In 1 Corinthians 5:11, Paul instructs the church not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard (μέθυσος), or a swindler. This passage underscores the seriousness with which the early church viewed the sin of drunkenness, equating it with other grave sins that disrupt community and personal holiness.
