But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: “Sound” is from ὑ γιαινούσ ῃ (hygiainousē) whose root is “hygiene”.

If you drank water without some wine in it you risked dysentery, cholera, e-coli, microsporidiosis, hepatitis or literally dozens of other diseases from bacteria, viruses, protozoans and parasites. These diseases were often fatal. Even today the WHO says water borne diseases are still the world’s leading killer (VOA News WHO)

Wine was always mixed with water… normally 3 or 4 parts water to one part wine. This was done to disinfect and make the water safe to drink.

Wine without water was considered barbarian… or totally uncivilized or “unchristian”.

James 1:3-4 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Linking love and patience… “The possibility of losing heart is contemplated; which would result in something being lacking.” Linking love and patience… “The possibility of losing heart is contemplated; which would result in something being lacking.” The expositors Greek Testament Vo. 4, pg 423 W.
