People's Commentary (NT)
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake.
I suppose the thought of Timothy's trials called to mind a sense of his
physical condition. Hence, he gives a medical prescription. The water
of that region is not good. The writer well remembers a fearfully sick
day that he passed at Ephesus in 1889, due to the water. Paul, hence,
advises that instead, he try the light wines, with only the smallest
percentage of alcohol.
And thine often infirmities. The prescription is not of a beverage,
but of a remedy for an invalid.
