The closest word in the KJV is the word REVELLINGS. It is found three times in the NT - Romans 13:13 (rioting), Galatians 5:21 (revellings) and in 1 Peter 4:3 (revellings). The Greek word is KOMOS. It speaks of carousal, a nocturnal and riotous procession of half drunken and frolicsome fellows who after supper parade through the streets with torches and music in honour of Bacchus or some other deity, and sing and play before houses of male and female friends; hence used generally of feasts and drinking parties that are protracted till late at night and indulge in revelry (Thayer). The root word comes from the idea of "to lie down." These were riotous drinking parties. In all three uses, it speaks of what a BELIEVER USED TO DO, or a work of the flesh (which a believer is not to be doing).
