Inner Healing and Visible Works

1 Timothy 5:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 5 in context

Scripture Focus

23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1 Timothy 5:23-25

Biblical Context

Paul advises a little wine for stomach health. He notes that some sins are obvious while others remain hidden, and that good works will reveal themselves.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this brief passage, the inner life speaks. The line about wine is not a command to drink, but a symbol of a gentle balm poured into awareness. If you allow imagination to pour a quiet grace into your consciousness, the body will follow the mind; the stomach’s infirmities become messages that your state is not yet fully aligned with wholeness, inviting you to revise. Sin, seen this way, is a misalignment of attention with your true I AM; whether apparent or not, the error shows up in action and becomes judgment in the outer world. Yet the good works that appear are not separate acts, but the outward sign of an inward state that has already taken hold. When you persist in the conviction of health and integrity, the world reflects that inner order, exposing what was hidden and clarifying what was vague. Your responsibility is not to fight the world, but to inhabit the state that creates the world you desire. Decide now that you stand in health, and witness the outer scene answer this inward command.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, place a hand on your stomach, and assume the feeling that health is your natural state. Revise every belief of deficiency by affirming I am well now, in mind and body, and dwell in the sensation until it feels real.
