Do not get drunk. "Do not get drunk with wine as the heathens do in their orgies! This will only ruin you, as it gives the Devil a chance to lead you into all kinds of sins!" Be filled with the Spirit. Compare John 7:37-39. The wild rites of music, dancing, and wine used by the mystery religions will ruin those who participate. Paul shows the contrast of being filled with the Spirit, which builds up and incites to holy living!
