Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

5:18 The Holy Spirit, not wine, should dominate believers’ lives (see Prov 23:29-35; cp. Acts 2:15-18).
• be filled: The grammar here suggests that believers’ lives are to be continuously filled with and governed by the Holy Spirit.
καὶ μὴ μεθύσκεσθε οἴνῳ
and not ˓be_being˒_drunk ˱with˲_wine
Paul ends his instructions on how all believers should live. Alternate translation: [You should not get drunk from drinking wine]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἀσωτία
in which is intemperance
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word recklessness, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: [which leads to reckless behavior] or [because that will ruin you]
ἀλλὰ πληροῦσθε ἐν Πνεύματι
but ˓be_being˒_filled with ˓the˒_Spirit
Alternate translation: [Instead, you should be controlled by the Holy Spirit]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλὰ
but
The connecting word Instead introduces a contrast relationship. Being drunk is in contrast to being filled with the Spirit.
