Proverbs 23:29-35
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions?
who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness
of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed
wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his
colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall
utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea,
or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they
have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek
it yet again.
Proverbs 31:4-7
It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to
drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of
any of the afflicted. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto
those that be of heavy hearts. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no
more.
Ecclesiastes 10:17-19
Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the
son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and
not for drunkenness! By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness
of the hands the house droppeth through. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money
answereth all things.
Isaiah 5:22-23
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of
strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the
righteousness of the righteous from him!
1 Corinthians 5:9-11
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with
the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye
needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man
that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an
idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such
an one no not to eat.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 10:6-11
Now these things were our examples, to the intent
we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,
The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and
fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and
were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were
destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they
are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are
come.
Ephesians 5:17-19
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what
the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with
the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
1 Peter 4:1-4
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath
suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to
the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the
will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts,
excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
