“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit — the antithetical pair: methuskō ('be drunk') en oinō ('with wine') leads to asōtia ('debauchery,' profligacy); instead, plēroō ('be filled') en pneumati ('with the Spirit'), the Spirit's filling replacing intoxication.
