Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

24

Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

    “Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins. Keep yourself pure. Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.”

  • NET

    “Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure. (Stop drinking just water, but use a little wine for your digestion and your frequent illnesses.) The sins of some people are obvious, going before them into judgment, but for others, they show up later. Similarly good works are also obvious, and the ones that are not cannot remain hidden.”

  • DRB

    “Impose not hands lightly upon any man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep thyself chaste. Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thy frequent infirmities. Some men's sins are manifest, going before to judgment: and some men they follow after. In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. ”

  • BBE

    “Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean. Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill. The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them. In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.”

  • KJVA
