1 Timothy 5:21-23
New Life Version
1 Timothy 5:21-23
New Life Version
21 I tell you from my heart that you must follow these rules without deciding before the truth is known. God and Jesus Christ and the chosen angels know what I am saying. Show favors to no one. 22 Do not be in a hurry about choosing a church leader. You do not want to have any part in other men’s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23 Do not drink water only. Use a little wine because of your stomach and because you are sick so often.
