Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek tou oinou tēs porneias autēs {ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς | ek tou oínou tēs porneías autēs} 'from the wine of her sexual immorality' expresses means or instrument, with the genitive chain tou oinou … tēs porneias functioning both to denote the source and to characterize the nature of the intoxicant. In English, the relative clause and the coordinated clause are rendered as two tightly linked statements, preserving the causal progression while adopting a clear subject–verb–object sequence.
In context — Revelation 17:2
With whom the kings of the earth had sexual immorality , and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk from the wine of her sexual immorality.
