Ephesians 5:18 says, MH MEQUSKESQE

This is a present passive imperative prohibition, but is it the 
continuous prohibition of an action, or the prohibition of a continuous 
action, and if the latter, can we tell if the action is a "process" or 
a "state of being." I can think of three possibilities:

1. Continue to stop being filled (continuous prohibition),
2. Stop continuing in the process of filling yourselves (prohibition of 
a continuous process),
3. Stop continuing in the state of having been filled (prohibition of a 
continuous state of being).
