1 Timothy 5:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² ·Think carefully before you [^LDo not quickly/hastily] ·appoint someone to leadership [^Llay your hands on anyone; 4:14; ^Ca way of dedicating someone to Christian service], and don’t share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

²³ Stop drinking only water, but drink a little wine to help your stomach and your frequent sicknesses.

²⁴ The sins of some people are ·easy to see [obvious; evident] ·even before they are judged [or arriving at the judgment before they do; or preceding them into court; ^Lgoing before them to judgment], but the sins of others ·are seen only later [arrive later; ^Lfollow after].
