New Living Translation
1 Timothy 5:22-24
New Living Translation
22 Never be in a hurry about appointing a church leader.[a] Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.
24 Remember, the sins of some people are obvious, leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will not be revealed until later.
