²¹ envy,^[a](A) drunkenness, carousing,^(B) and anything similar. I am warning you about these things – as I warned you before – that those who practise such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.^(C)

¹⁸ And don’t get drunk^(A) with wine,^(B) which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the Spirit:^(C)
