For example, the Hebrew word "שָׁתָה" (shathah, Strong's Hebrew 8354) means "to drink" and is used in contexts that describe both ordinary drinking and excessive consumption. Another related term is "סָבָא" (sava, Strong's Hebrew 5433), which refers to drunkenness or intoxication. These terms reflect similar themes of caution against overindulgence found in the Greek "πότος." Usage: The word "πότος" is used in the New Testament to describe occasions of revelry and indulgence in drinking. It is often associated with behaviors that are contrary to the virtues of sobriety and self-control. Context: • The Greek term "πότος" appears in the New Testament in contexts that caution against excessive drinking and the moral decay that can accompany such behavior. In the cultural setting of the New Testament, banquets and drinking parties were common social events, but they often led to moral laxity and were frowned upon by early Christian teachings.
