1 Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep yourself pure. Joseph Sturge, the Christian philanthropist, remonstrating one day with a drunken man whom he met, was startled by his reply that he had got drunk at a public-house, adding, "The beer was made from your barley." His mind was at once made up, and the next Mark Lane Express announced that under no circumstances would the Messrs. Sturge supply barley for malting purposes. This conscientious decision struck off £8,000 a year from their income. Parallel Verses KJV: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.WEB: Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins.
