Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Thief in the Night

The verse does not explicitly mention a "thief" or use "thief language," but rather warns against being unprepared for a specific "day" due to personal indulgence and worldly concerns.

Drunkenness Condemned

The verse does not explicitly define "drunkenness" or "surfeiting" in a way that would exclude moderate consumption, and the condemnation is primarily focused on the *effect* of these actions (hearts being overcharged, the day coming unawares) rather than the actions themselves as inherently sinful.
