It conveys the idea of living in a manner that prioritizes pleasure and comfort, sometimes to the point of moral or spiritual neglect.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, luxury and indulgence were often seen as signs of wealth and status. However, they were also critiqued by philosophers and moralists who warned against the dangers of excess and the moral decay it could bring. In the context of early Christianity, such indulgence was often contrasted with the virtues of temperance and self-control, which were highly valued by the early Church.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4764</b> <i>strḗnos</i> (from <i>strēnēs</i>, "rough, grating") – properly, <i>excessive, strong</i> desire that "longs to break forth" (J.
