1 TIMOTHY 5:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.”
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in another's sins; keep yourself pure — the warning against precipitous ordination (tacheos cheirotonia) reflects the danger that hasty leaders participate (koinōneō) in the sins of unvetted candidates. Timothy's own purity (hagneian) depends on exercising discernment.
