Bible verses about wine new testament

Here are some Bible verses about wine in the New Testament:

  1. Matthew 9:17 - "Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, and the wine is spilled and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
    • This verse is often interpreted as a metaphor for the new covenant and the need for a new way of living, rather than trying to fit the old ways into the new.
  2. Matthew 26:29 - "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."
    • Jesus says this at the Last Supper, indicating that he will not drink wine again until the kingdom of God is established.
  3. Mark 2:22 - "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined."
    • Similar to Matthew 9:17, this verse emphasizes the need for new containers to hold the new wine of the gospel.
  4. Luke 5:37-38 - "And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
    • This verse is similar to the previous two, emphasizing the need for new containers to hold the new wine of the gospel.
  5. 1 Timothy 5:23 - "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."
    • Paul advises Timothy to drink a little wine for medicinal purposes, rather than water.
  6. Titus 2:3 - "Older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things."
    • Paul advises older women to avoid excessive wine consumption, as it can lead to negative behaviors.
  7. 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 - "After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."
    • Jesus says this at the Last Supper, indicating that the cup of wine is a symbol of the new covenant and should be remembered and celebrated by believers.

It's worth noting that while wine is mentioned in these verses, the Bible does not condone excessive or abusive drinking. In fact, the Bible often warns against the dangers of drunkenness and the negative consequences of excessive wine consumption.
