OET interlinear 1TIM 5:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ

˱with˲_wine /a/_little /be/_giving_treatment

Here Paul means that Timothy should have a little wine in addition to the water he was drinking. In Paul’s culture, people believed that wine could help with certain physical problems and illnesses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “also use a little wine as medicine”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

διὰ τὸν στόμαχον καὶ τὰς πυκνάς σου ἀσθενείας

because_of your stomach and the frequent ˱of˲_you sicknesses

Paul does not imply what kind of stomach problems and illnesses Timothy was experiencing. However, it is clear that Paul thought that a little wine would help with these problems. Since Paul does not state what kind of health problems Timothy was having, you should use general terms for stomach problems and sicknesses. Alternate translation: “because of your digestion problems and your frequent sicknesses”
