1 Timotius 5:23

5:23 (Stop drinking just water, but use a little wine for your digestion ¹  and your frequent illnesses.) ² 

Titus 1:7

1:7 For the overseer ³  must be blameless as one entrusted with God’s work, ⁴  not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain.

[5:23]  ¹ tn Grk “for the sake of your stomach.”

[5:23]  ² sn This verse gives parenthetical advice to Timothy, to clarify what it means to keep pure (5:22c). Verse 24 resumes the instructions about elders.

[1:7]  ³ sn The overseer is another term for the same official position of leadership as the “elder.” This is seen in the interchange of the two terms in this passage and in Acts 20:17, 28, as well as in the parallels between these verses and 1 Tim 3:1-7.

[1:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “as God’s steward.”
