Revellings
revel-ingz (, komos): The word is found both in the King James Version and in the Revised Version (British and American) in The Wisdom of Solomon 14:23 (the Revised Version (British and American) revels, orgiastic heathen worship is in point); 2 Macc 6:4; Gal 5:21; 1Pe 4:3. In Gal 5:21 it is classed with fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, etc., as one of the works of the flesh. In 1Pe 4:3 it is spoken of the Gentiles and is classcd with drunkenness and carousings and such like. In Rom 13:13 the Revised Version has revelling instead of the King James Version rioting, and in 2Pe 2:13, revel replaces riot. Similarly in Amo 6:7, revelry replaces banquet. The obvious meaning of the word is excessive and boisterous intemperance and lustful indulgence.
