“Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
And envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. — Paul concludes the vices with envy, drunkenness, and orgies ('photoi' — revelries), adding 'kai ta homoia toutois' (and things like these), a hedge acknowledging that the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive; the eschatological warning is unambiguous: those practicing ('prasso' — do, conduct life) such things will not 'klēronomeo basilian theou' (inherit God's kingdom), facing divine exclusion.
