1 TIMOTHY 5:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.”
No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments — the parenthetical health note (Paul addresses Timothy's physical condition: stomach weakness and frequent infirmities) permits medicinal wine consumption, moderating ascetic tendencies. Christian discipline embraces bodily health.
