1 Timothy 5:21-25 New English Translation (NET)

21. Before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, I solemnly charge you to carry out these commands without prejudice or favoritism of any kind.

22. Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

23. (Stop drinking just water, but use a little wine for your digestion and your frequent illnesses.)

24. The sins of some people are obvious, going before them into judgment, but for others, they show up later.

25. Similarly good works are also obvious, and the ones that are not cannot remain hidden.
