This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Drink no longer water; not wholly, as many did in those countries, and Timothy probably did, not because he was not able to buy wine, but religiously, as a piece of discipline to keep under the flesh.



But use a little wine; but mix some wine with the water.



For thy stomach’s sake; to help thy digestion.



And thine often infirmities; in regard of thy weakness and frequent infirmities.
