1 Timothy 5:23

23 No longer drink only water, but take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

1 Timothy 5:23 In-Context

21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, I warn you to keep these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality.
22 Do not ordain anyone hastily, and do not participate in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
23 No longer drink only water, but take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
24 The sins of some people are conspicuous and precede them to judgment, while the sins of others follow them there.
25 So also good works are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden.
