1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities. I. A CHRISTIAN IS CALLED UPON TO CARE FOR HIS PHYSICAL HEALTH. The body is not to be despised or neglected. It is the temple of the Holy Ghost, to be thought of, and dealt with, reverently. Disordered nerves and deranged functions have much to do with gloomy views of God and hopeless views of men. For the sake, therefore, of one's moral and religious life, all that can be done to keep the body and brain in healthy condition and exercise, should be done religiously. II. A CHRISTIAN IS BOUND TO CONTROL ANIMAL APPETITE. (A. Rowland, LL. B.) Parallel Verses KJV: Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. |
