It is often associated with a lack of self-control and is used to describe a character trait that is not suitable for church leaders or those in positions of spiritual authority.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, wine was a common beverage, often consumed with meals. However, excessive drinking and drunkenness were frowned upon, especially among those who were expected to lead by example, such as elders and overseers in the early Christian church. The cultural context of the time placed a high value on moderation and self-control, particularly for those in leadership roles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/3631.htm">oinos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>given to wine, drunken<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>addicted to wine (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 3943: πάροινος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πάροινος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πάροινον</span>, a later Greek word for the earlier <span class="greek2">παροίνιος</span> (<span class="greek2">παρά</span> (which see IV. 1) and <span class="greek2">οἶνος</span>, one who sits long at his wine), <span class="accented">given to wine, drunken</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/3-3.htm">1 Timothy 3:3</a>;
