The Stomach

Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.

“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

…because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
