For example, Proverbs 23:20-21 warns against being among "drunkards or with gluttonous eaters of meat."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "phagos" is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is a glutton or an excessive eater. It carries a negative connotation, often associated with indulgence and lack of self-control. In the context of the Bible, it is used to criticize those who prioritize physical appetites over spiritual discipline.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, gluttony was often viewed as a vice, associated with moral weakness and lack of discipline. The Jewish culture, with its dietary laws and emphasis on moderation, also frowned upon excessive eating. The term "phagos" would have been understood as a critique of one's character, highlighting a failure to adhere to the virtues of self-control and temperance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5315.htm">phagomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a glutton<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gluttonous (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5314: φάγος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φάγος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">φαγου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">φάγω</span>), <span class="accented">a voracious man, a glutton</span> (it is a substantive, and differs from <span class="greek2">φάγος</span> the adjective; cf. <span class="greek2">φυγος</span>, <span class="greek2">φειδος</span>; see Fritzsche on Mark, p. 790ff, but cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lipsius</span>, Gram.
