'Addicted' in the Bible
But what I meant was that you were not to associate with any one bearing the name of "brother," if he was addicted to fornication or avarice or idol-worship or abusive language or hard-drinking or greed of gain. With such a man you ought not even to eat.
nor theives, nor avaricious people, nor any who are addicted to hard drinking, to abusive language or to greed of gain, will inherit God's Kingdom.
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
and in these [sinful things] you also once walked, when you were habitually living in them [without the knowledge of Christ].
not addicted to wine, not a bully but gentle, not quarrelsome, not greedy—
Ministers, too, must be serious. They must not be two-faced, addicted to wine, or greedy for money.
For an overseer, as God’s administrator, must be blameless, not arrogant, not hot-tempered, not addicted to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money,
