1 Timothy 5:23

Discontinue the drinking of bare water, take a litle wine out of regard to your weak stomach, and your frequent indispositions.

The deacons too must be grave, not double tongued, not addicted to drinking, or sordid gain,

do not drink to excess, for that tends to dissoluteness, but be regal'd with spiritual entertainments:

not given to wine or violence, but of a gentle temper, averse to contention and avarice: a master of economy,

for a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not morose, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not desirous of unlawful gain.

in charity, in patience: the aged women likewise, to behave with sanctity of manners, not false accusers, not given to tipling,

for all that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it be receiv'd with thanksgiving:

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

not given to wine or violence, but of a gentle temper, averse to contention and avarice: a master of economy,

for all that God has created is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it be receiv'd with thanksgiving:

do not drink to excess, for that tends to dissoluteness, but be regal'd with spiritual entertainments:
