1 Timothy 5

²¹ I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.

²² Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

²³ Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

²⁵ In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
