1 Timothy 5:22 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

20 Ceux qui pèchent, reprends-les devant tous, afin que les autres aussi éprouvent de la crainte.

21 Je te conjure devant Dieu, devant Jésus-Christ, et devant les anges élus, d’observer ces choses sans prévention, et de ne rien faire par faveur.

22 N’impose les mains à personne avec précipitation, et ne participe pas aux péchés d’autrui; toi-même, conserve-toi pur.

23 Ne continue pas à ne boire que de l’eau; mais fais usage d’un peu de vin, à cause de ton estomac et de tes fréquentes indispositions.

24 Les péchés de certains hommes sont manifestes, même avant qu’on les juge, tandis que chez d’autres, ils ne se découvrent que dans la suite.
