Ephesians 5:17-21
17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.

1) Parallelism: verses 17 and 18
Therefore do not be unwise ==> And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation;
but understand what the will of the Lord is. ==> but be filled with the Spirit,
Greek “plērousthe”: be filled = Verb, Imperative, Present, Voice Passive, 2 Person Plural.
“The passive voice conveys the idea that the SUBJECT is being ACTED UPON by an OUTSIDE force or power. SUBJECT is the RECIPIENT or the RECEIVER of the verbal action or effect”.
The wine does not control. The person looses control under the influence of the wine.
The person should be filled (be ready to receive) with the Holy Spirit, gaining total control of his life under the influence (direction) of the Spirit of God.
2) The beginning of Christian life
Ephesians 1:13 (NKJV) 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Greek: to pneumati = with the Spirit.
