Amplified Bible
1 Timothy 5:21-25
21I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels that you guard and keep these rules without bias, doing nothing out of favoritism.
22Do not hurry to lay hands on anyone [ordaining and approving someone for ministry or an office in the church, or in reinstating expelled offenders], and thereby share in the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
23No longer continue drinking [only] water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
24The sins of some people are conspicuous, leading the way for them into judgment [so that they are clearly not qualified for ministry]; but the sins of others appear later [for they are hidden and follow behind them].
25Likewise, good deeds are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be hidden [indefinitely].
