Luke 5:38

38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.

Luke 5:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 5:38

But new wine must be put into new bottles
Such as the disciples of Christ were, and sinners called to repentance are, who are renewed by the Spirit and grace of God: and these are filled with spiritual joy and comfort, as with new wine, arising from discoveries of the love of God, a view of interest in the blessings of the covenant, and an application of Gospel truths and promises.

And both are preserved;
both these renewed ones, who are preserved unto the kingdom and glory of Christ; and the grace that is put into them, which is a well of living water, springing up to everlasting life; as well as the Gospel, and its blessings.

Luke 5:38 In-Context

36 Then Jesus gave them an example. He said, "People don't tear a patch from new clothes and sew it on old clothes. If they do, they will tear the new clothes. Also, the patch from the new clothes will not match the old clothes.
37 People don't pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the new wine will burst the skins. The wine will run out, and the wineskins will be destroyed.
38 No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.
39 After people drink old wine, they don't want the new. They say, 'The old wine is better.' "
