1 Timothy 5 — Context

I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

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.
