It conveys the idea of living in a way that prioritizes comfort and pleasure over spiritual or moral considerations. In the New Testament, it is often used in a negative context, warning against the dangers of such a lifestyle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, luxury and indulgence were often associated with the upper classes and were seen as a sign of wealth and status. However, such lifestyles were also criticized by philosophers and moralists for leading to moral decay and a lack of discipline. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings and the example of Jesus, often emphasized simplicity, self-control, and the dangers of materialism.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4763</b> <i>strēniáō</i> – living in sensual, lustful behavior, i.e. in self-indulgence (wanton luxury). <a href="/greek/4764.htm">See 4764</a> (<i>strēnos</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/4764.htm">strénos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to run riot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lived sensuously (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 4763: στρηνιάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στρηνιάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στρηνιω</span>: 1 aor <span class="greek2">ἐστρηνίασα</span>; (from <span class="greek2">στρῆνος</span>, which see); a word used in middle and later Comedy for <span class="greek2">τρυφαν</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 381; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 475f; <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 25)); <span class="accented">to be wanton, to live luxuriously</span>: <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-7.htm">Revelation 18:7, 9</a>.
