Schaff's Bible Dictionary
, does not mean moderation only in the use of wine or other drink, but self-control leading to moderation in every thing. It is to be regretted that this good word should be doubly perverted - first in the direction mentioned above, and second to mean total abstinence from drink. This perversion leads to inaccurate thinking. 1 Cor 9:25.
