1 Timothy 5:22

1 Timothy 5:22

20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the¹ elect angels that you observe these things without ^aprejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor ^ashare in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.

23 No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent¹ infirmities.

24 Some men’s sins are ^aclearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 Timothy 5:21

1 Timothy 5:23 >>

Lay hands suddenly on no man - That is, appoint no man to church offices without full trial and examination; else thou wilt be accessary to, and accountable for, his misbehaviour in his office. Keep thy self pure - From the blood of all men.

<< 1 Timothy 5:21
