1 Timothy 5:22-24
International Children’s Bible
22 Think carefully before you lay your hands on[a] anyone for the Lord’s service. Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Timothy, you stop drinking only water and drink a little wine. This will help your stomach, and you will not be sick so often.
24 The sins of some people are easy to see even before they are judged. But the sins of others are seen only later.
