NASB | 1 Timothy 5:24 ¶ The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 5:24 ¶ The sins of some people are conspicuous, leading the way for them into judgment [so that they are clearly not qualified for ministry]; but the sins of others appear later [for they are hidden and follow behind them]. |
Bible Question (short): Can judgement happen before sin? |
Question (full): I'm wondering about this verse - 1 Tim 5:24 24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. (KJV) The first part is obvious, that sin leads to judgement - however the second part seems to be saying that for some, their sins follow after the judgement... That is to say that a person will be punished or judged for a sin that he has not yet committed, yet it is judgement for a sin that the person will eventually commit... This is not unthinkable, since God does know the end from the beginning - but I'm not sure that is the meaning of the second part of this scripture. |
