Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "παρά" (para), meaning "beside" or "near," and "οἶνος" (oinos), meaning "wine."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "πάροινος," the concept of avoiding drunkenness is present in the Old Testament. Relevant Hebrew terms include: Usage: The word "πάροινος" is used in the New Testament to describe a character trait that is to be avoided, particularly in leaders within the church. It appears in the context of qualifications for overseers and deacons. Context: The term "πάροινος" is found in the New Testament in the pastoral epistles, specifically in 1 Timothy 3:3 and Titus 1:7. In these passages, the Apostle Paul outlines the qualifications for church leaders, emphasizing the importance of self-control and moderation. The use of "πάροινος" highlights the necessity for leaders to exhibit temperance and not be given to excessive drinking, which can lead to impaired judgment and moral failure. The admonition against being "πάροινος" serves as a broader principle for all believers, encouraging a lifestyle of sobriety and self-discipline. The Berean Standard Bible translates 1 Timothy 3:3 as: "not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money." Similarly, Titus 1:7 states: "As God’s steward, an overseer must be above reproach—not self-absorbed, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not greedy for money."
