rwp - intoxicated

rwp@1Corinthians:11:21 @{Taketh before} (\prolambanei\). Before others. Old verb to take before others. It was conduct like this that led to the complete separation between the Love-feast and the Lord's Supper. It was not even a common meal together (\koinon deipnon\), not to say a Lord's \deipnon\. It was a mere {grab-game}. {This one is hungry} (\hos de peini\). Demonstrative \hos\. Nothing is left for him at the love-feast. {Another is drunken} (\hos de methuei\)...suppers. "Hungry poor meeting intoxicated rich,...(Robertson and Plummer). On \methu\, to be drunk, see on ¯Matthew:24:49; strkjv@Acts:2:15|.

rwp@2Timothy:2:26 @{They may recover themselves} (\ananpssin\). First aorist active subjunctive of \ananph\, late and rare word, to be sober again, only here in N.T., though \nph\ is in strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:6|. {Out of the snare of the devil} (\ek ts tou diabolou pagidos\)...been caught while mentally intoxicated in...(1Timothy:3:7|). See strkjv@Romans:11:9| for \pagis\. {Taken captive} (\ezgrmenoi\). Perfect passive participle of \zgre\, old verb, to take alive (\zos, agre\), in N.T. only here and strkjv@Luke:5:10| (of Peter). "Taken captive alive." {By him unto his will} (\hup' autou eis to ekeinou thelma\). This difficult phrase is understood variously. One way is to take both \autou\ and \ekeinou\, to refer to the devil. Another way is to take both of them to refer to God. Another way is to take \autou\ of the devil and \ekeinou\, of God. This is probably best, "taken captive by the devil" "that they may come back to soberness to do the will of God." There are difficulties in either view.
