22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither bee partaker of other mens sinnes. Keepe thy selfe pure. 23Drinke no longer water, but vse a little wine for thy stomackes sake, and thine often infirmities. 24Some mens sinnes are open before hand, going before to iudgement: and some men they follow after. 25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest before hand, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
