frē´li ( חנּם , hinnām , נדבה , nedhābhāh ; δωρεάν , dōreán παῤῥησιάζομαι ,ρ Ο2 for nothing (Numbers 11:5 π , oh_2:10 ). The word is methúskō , Pass. "to become drunk." Comparison with Luke 12:45; Ephesians 5:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:7; Revelation 17:2 , where the same word is translated the King James Version "made drunk," the Revised Version (British and American) "made drunken" (Matthew 24:49; Acts 2:15; 1 Corinthians 11:21; Revelation 17:6 , "drunken"), will show that the meaning is "drunk," which was the rendering of Tyndale and Cranmer; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible , 390-405 ad) has cum inebriati fuerint; Plummer renders "have become drunk, are drunk."
