This verse means that one shouldn't lay hands on
a man for public ministry to quickly without a thorough
investigation. He needs to be suitable and qualified for
the office of an overseer/pastor/elder. Nor share in other
people's sins: this means the sin of hasty ordination which
makes those responsible culpable for the man's sin of serving
as an unqualified elder and thus misleading people.Keep yourself pure: this means" free from sin"
