Definition and Context
In biblical terms, "revelers" refers to individuals who engage in excessive and boisterous festivities, often characterized by immoral or riotous behavior. The term is frequently associated with drunkenness, debauchery, and a lack of self-control. Revelry is often condemned in Scripture as it leads individuals away from a righteous and disciplined life.

Biblical References
The Bible addresses the behavior of revelers in several passages, warning against the dangers of such conduct and its consequences. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul explicitly lists revelry among the works of the flesh. In Galatians 5:19-21 , he writes: "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Similarly, in 1 Peter 4:3 , the apostle Peter admonishes believers to abandon their past sinful behaviors, including revelry: "For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry."

Moral and Spiritual Implications
Revelry is often associated with a lifestyle that is contrary to the teachings of Christ and the pursuit of holiness. It represents a surrender to the desires of the flesh rather than living by the Spirit. The Bible encourages believers to exercise self-control and to live soberly, as seen in Titus 2:11-12 : "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men. It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age."

Consequences of Revelry
The Scriptures warn that those who engage in revelry and similar behaviors risk exclusion from the kingdom of God. This is not merely a temporal consequence but an eternal one, emphasizing the seriousness of such conduct. Revelry is seen as a barrier to spiritual growth and a hindrance to one's relationship with God.

Call to Righteous Living
Believers are called to a higher standard of living, one that reflects the character of Christ. In Romans 13:13-14 , Paul exhorts Christians: "Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh."

Conclusion
While the Bible acknowledges the reality of revelry in human behavior, it consistently calls believers to reject such practices and to pursue a life of holiness and self-discipline. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians are empowered to overcome the temptations of the flesh and to live in a manner that honors God.2970. komos -- a village festival, revel
