Church Fathers on 1 Timothy 5:24

In speaking of ordination, he had said, “Be not partaker of other men's sins.” But what, he might say, if I be ignorant of them? Why, “some men's sins are open beforehand, going before them to judgment, and some they follow after.” Some men's, he means, are manifest, because they, go before, while others' are unknown, because they follow after.
