This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Honestly (εὐσχημόνως)
Honest is originally honorable, and so here. Compare Wyclif's version of 1Co 12:23 : “And the members that be unhonest have more honesty; for our honest members have need of none.” From εὐ well, σχῆμα fashion. See on Mat 17:2. Hence becomingly. Compare 1Co 14:40; 1Th 4:12. The word refers more particularly to the outward life, and thus accords with walk, and in the day the time of observation.
Rioting (κώμοις)
Lit., revellings. See on 1Pe 4:3.
Drunkenness (μέθαις)
See on Luk 21:34; see on Joh 2:10.
Wantonness (ἀσελγείαις)
See on lasciviousness, Mar 7:22. All these three are plural: riotings, drunkennesses, wantonnesses.
Envying (ζήλω)
Rev., jealousy. See on Jam 3:14.
