1Th 5:7. Μεθυσκόμενοι-μεθύουσιν, those who are drunken, are drunken) Μεθύσκομαι denotes the act, μεθύω, the state or habit; so in καθεύδοντες-καθεύδουσι, the Ploce[29] is apparent. For first, ΚΑΘΕΎΔΟΝΤΕς has the inchoative power, falling into sleep; then καθεύδουσι expresses continuance, they go on in sleep.-νυκτὸς) in the night time, for the most part. Even constant somnolency and drunkenness render the very night worse. Such persons are averse (shrink) from the day.
[29] The figure by which the same word is twice put, once in the simple sense, next to express an attribute of it. Append.-ED.
