1 Timothy 5:22 Context
20Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare. 21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partialitie. 22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither bee partaker of other mens sinnes. Keepe thy selfe pure. 23Drinke no longer water, but vse a little wine for thy stomackes sake, and thine often infirmities. 24Some mens sinnes are open before hand, going before to iudgement: and some men they follow after.
