Context — Instructions on Church Leadershipgenerated

22Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
24The sins of some men are obvious, going ahead of them to judgment; but the sins of others do not surface until later.
25In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.

1 Timothy 5:24 highlights the distinction between visible and hidden sins among individuals. Paul emphasizes the importance of recognizing that while some sins are obvious and lead directly to judgment, others may not be apparent until later. This teaching serves as a reminder to Timothy and the church about the nature of sin and the need for discernment in leadership, as seen in the surrounding verses that address purity and the careful selection of leaders.

The Key Word πρόδηλος, prodēlosgenerated

The adjective πρόδηλος means 'evident' or 'manifest,' indicating something that is clear and easily seen. It suggests that certain sins are apparent and lead to immediate consequences.

This word appears in contexts where clarity and visibility are emphasized, such as in 1 Timothy 5:25. Its use here underscores the idea that some actions are plainly visible, making them subject to judgment.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'The sins of some men are obvious,' which aligns with the KJV's 'Some men’s sins are open beforehand.' Both translations emphasize the evident nature of certain sins.

However, translations differ on the rendering of πρόδηλοί. The ASV uses 'evident,' while the YLT opts for 'manifest.' The KJV and others maintain a similar sense with 'open beforehand,' illustrating the varying nuances in how the original Greek is understood.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause of the verse is governed by the finite verb εἰσιν, are, which connects the subject to its description. The structure presents two contrasting ideas about sins, with one part discussing those that are obvious and the other addressing those that are not evident until later.

The sentence is organized into two main clauses, with the first clause presenting the obvious sins and the second clause contrasting them with the hidden sins. The use of conjunctions like δὲ (however) serves to highlight this contrast.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

ἁμαρτία, meaning 'sin,' is often used in the Septuagint to describe actions that fall short of God's standards. The Greek word here connects to the Hebrew חַטָּאָה, which carries a similar meaning.

The term κρίσις, meaning 'judgment,' is also found in the Septuagint, reflecting the continuity of the concept of divine judgment from the Old Testament to the New Testament.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

1 Timothy 5:24 explains that some people's sins are obvious and lead to judgment, while others are not seen until later. This teaches us about the nature of sin and the importance of discernment in leadership.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it

The early Church Fathers comment on this verse to illustrate the nature of sin and judgment, emphasizing the visibility of certain sins and the implications for church leadership.

Augustine of HippoSERMON ON THE MOUNT 2.18.60 354–430
When it is clear with what intention they are committed, he calls them manifest sins, and these sins precede judgment. This means that if judgment follows them at once, it will not be rash judgment.

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy Bible

The sense of this verse depends upon the term krisin, which we translate judgment, it being doubtful whether it is to be understood of the judgment of God, or the judgment of men in ecclesiastical judicatories. If we understand the words of the judgment of God, the sense is this: Some men’ s sins are punished in this life, before their persons come before God’ s judgment-seat; others are more private and concealed, the punishment of which follows after. But this interpretation must suppose Paul here to run into another argument, differing from what he had before spoken upon, which though it be not unusual with the apostle, yet there being no need we should say he doth so in this place, I…

(24) Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.—The preceding verse was parenthetic, and suggested by his fears lest the effect of his direction to his son in the faith to keep himself pure might lead Timothy to the practice of a useless and unhealthy asceticism. St. Paul now returns and closes the subject on which he had been instructing his representative at Ephesus. He tells him, in his choice of men to fill the public positions in the Church of God—in his public inquiries into their conduct and teaching—in his inquiries respecting sinners, who, having forfeited their position as members of the community, were seeking re-admission into…

Verse 24. Some men's sins are open beforehand] In appointing men to sacred offices in the Church, among the candidates Timothy would find, 1.

Some of whose faith and piety he had the fullest knowledge, and whose usefulness in the Church was well known. 3. Some whose lives were not at all or but partially reformed, who were still unchanged in their hearts, and unholy in their lives. The sins of these latter were known to all; they go before to judgment; with them he could have no difficulty. With the first class he must have more difficulty; there might have been…

24. It is most natural to regard 1 Timothy 5:24-25 as a review under a fresh aspect of the two main duties urged upon Timothy in the paragraph; just as in the former paragraph, 1 Timothy 5:3-16, 1 Timothy 5:16 is similarly related to its preceding context. The meaning thus will be; ‘I have bidden you in rebuking your presbyters “to be so merciful that you be not too remiss, so to minister discipline that you forget not mercy”; remember how quickly sometimes error stands “self-condemned,” how slow at other times its evil is in working out. Again, in rewarding your presbyters I have bidden you, as a wise and faithful servant, “give to God’s family their portion in due season,” by deserved…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Quorumdam hominum peccata manifesta sunt, præcedentia ad judicium : quosdam autem et subsequuntur.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܐܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (i.e., *anthropos*) means 'man' or 'human being,' encompassing both males and females. It is derived from roots meaning 'man-faced' and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as to distinguish humans from God and animals. The term can imply human frailty and is often used in phrases that reflect human nature or condition.

Moulton & Milligan, Vocabulary of the Greek Testament from a scan

ἄνθρωπος, like ἀνήρ, has kept its differentia practically unchanged from Homer to MGr. It is interesting to notice its philosophical abstract ἀνθρωπότης vouched for as fairly popular Greek by Vettius Valens (p. 346%, in antith. to ἀθανασία), passing into Christian theology (see LS and Sophocles Zex.), and current in MGr. The NT has no trace of the curious misuse by which the principal difference between a. and ἀνήρ is ignored: Tob 65 ἀνθρώπου ἢ γυναικός. P Flor |. 61 (a.p. 86-8) ἄξιος μ[ὲ]ν ἧς μαστιγωθῆναι, διὰ σεαυτοῦ [κ]Ἰατασχὼν ἄνθρωπον εἰσχήμονα καὶ yuv[ai]kas is not parallel, as a. only means as little is Jn 772. (Grimm). Another case of ἄνθρωπος invading the sphere of ἀνήρ is the Matthzean locution ἄ, οἰκοδεσπότης, βασιλεύς, φαγός etc. though not Attic: Mt may have got it from LXX (so Lev 21° ἀνθρώπου ἱερέως). Some papyrus passages may be cited, though little is needed. The…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἁμαρτία (i.e., *hamartia*) primarily means 'sin' or 'failure to hit the mark.' It encompasses ethical wrongdoing and is used in the New Testament to describe both individual acts of sin and the overarching principle of sin as a dominating force in human life. Various lexicons note its use in contexts such as guilt and the nature of sin, with references in Romans and John highlighting its significance in Christian theology.

παράβασις, παράπτωμα, ἀγνόημα, ἥττημα. A MOURNFULLY numerous group of words, and one which it would be only too easy to make larger still. Nor is it hard to see why. For sin, which we may define in the 240 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ϑιυχνι. language of Augustine, as ‘ factum vel dictuin yel concuvitum aliquid contra eternam legem’ (Con. Faust. xxii. 27; cf. the Stoic definition, ἁμάρτημα, νόμου ἀπαγόρευμα, Plutarch, De Rep. Stoic. 11); or again, ‘ voluntas admittendi vel retinendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere’ (Con. Jul. i. 47), may be regarded under an infinite number of aspects, and in all languages has been so regarded; and as the diagnosis of it belongs most of all to the Scriptures, nowhere else are we likely to find it contemplated on so many sides, set forth under such various images. It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim; it is then ἁμαρτία…

The Greek word πρόδηλος (i.e., *prodelos*) is an adjective meaning 'evident' or 'manifest beforehand.' It combines elements meaning 'before' and 'clear,' indicating something obvious to all. In the New Testament, it appears in 1 Timothy 5:24-25 and Hebrews 7:14, emphasizing clarity and prior knowledge. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meaning.

to be, to exist, Jn. 1:1; 17:5; Mt. 6:30; Lk. 4:25, freq.; ἐστί[ν], it is possible, proper, Heb. 9:5; a simple linking verb (“copula”) to the subject and predicate, and therefore in itself affecting the force of the sentence only by its tense, mood, etc., Jn. 1:1; 15:1, freq.; it also forms a frequent circumlocution with the participles of the present and perfect of other verbs, Mt. 19:22; Mk. 2:6

προάγω (proago) means to lead forward or go before. It is used in various contexts, including leading someone to trial (Acts 12:6) and preceding others in time or place (e.g., Matthew 2:9). The word is composed of a prefix meaning 'before' and a root meaning 'to lead.' It appears in both transitive and intransitive forms, indicating its versatility in the New Testament.

κρίσις (krisis) is derived from the verb κρίνω (krinō), meaning to judge or decide. It encompasses a range of meanings, including judgment, decision, and trial, often in a legal or divine context. In the New Testament, it refers to both human and divine judgment, with specific mentions in John and Matthew regarding the last judgment. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement.

Is put, in Mt 5:21,22, for a court of judgment, a tribunal, namely, the tribunal of seven judges, which Josephus mentions as existing in every city, and which decided causes of minor importance. See under SYNAGOGUE.

For the expression, "judgment-hall," see PRETORIUM.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, for which the word "judgment" alone is sometimes used, is that great day, at the end of the world and of time, when Christ shall sit as judge over all the universe, and when every individual of the human race will be judged and recompensed according to his works, whether they be good or evil. The time of its coming and its duration are known only to God. It will break upon the world suddenly, and with a glorious but awful majesty.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐπακολουθέω (i.e., *epakoloutheo*) means 'to follow after' or 'to accompany.' It is used in various contexts, including following someone closely, imitating their example (as in 1 Peter 2:21), and verifying or authenticating actions or accounts (notably in Mark 16:20). The entries suggest a range of meanings from physical following to metaphorical applications like compliance or concurrence.

Moulton & Milligan, Vocabulary of the Greek Testament from a scan

ἐπακολουθέω. From its original meaning “‘ follow,” ‘‘ follow after,’’ this verb came to be used in a number of closely related senses from iii/B.c. onwards. Thus it means ‘‘am_ personally present at,” ‘‘see to,” in P Petr II. 40(4)® (iii/B.c.) καλῶς οὖν ποιήσεις ἀποστείλας τινὰ τῆι ἢ, ὃς ἐπακολουθήσει τῆι ἐγχύσει τοῦ γινομένου σου γλεύκους, “it were well for you, then, to send some one on the 8th who will see to the pouring out of the must which conies to you”’ (Ed.): cf. P Oxy VII. 1024%* (A.D. 129) ἣν καταθήσεται eis τὴν γῆν ὑγιῶς ἐπακολουθούντων τῶν εἰωθότων, ‘under the observance of the usual officers” (Ed.), and 26. 103118 (A.D. 228). Hence the meaning develops to ‘conform to,’’ ‘‘concur with,” as P Lille I. 4°? (B.c. 218-7) τῆς πρὸς Θ. ἐπιστολῆς ὑπογέγραφα ὑμῖν τὸ ἀντίγραφον, ὅπως ἐπακολουθοῦντες ποιῆτε κατὰ [τα]ῦτα, ‘‘pour que vous vous y conformiez” (Ed.), P Fay 24'* (A.D. 158)…

Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Harper, 1889 — Grimm’s Wilke’s Clavis Novi Testamenti, translated, revised and enlarged by Joseph Henry Thayer) is public domain and is set here from the Internet Archive page scan greekenglishlex00grim; it is uncorrected OCR, marked as such on the entry itself, and the Strong’s numbers — which Thayer’s own edition does not carry — were matched by lemma against the other modules on this page. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament (Macmillan, 1880) and Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary of the Greek Testament (Hodder & Stoughton, 1930, which entered the United States public domain on 1 January 2026) are set from Internet Archive page scans synonymsofnewtes00treniala and vocabularyofgree00mouluoft, and are likewise uncorrected OCR matched to Strong’s numbers by lemma. Trench treats a group of words at once, so the same essay stands on the page of each word it compares.
