1 Timothy 5:24-25 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.… Recent discoveries have revealed the carcases of prehistoric animals thrown out at the foot of a Siberian glacier. These animals were preserved unchanged, unseen, and unknown, for untold centuries, beneath the frozen mud and the solid ice of the never-hasting, never-resting, ever-moving glacier. And when, at last, these long-preserved carcases came out to the light and warmth and sun, they sent forth their horrid stench. Thus sin may be buried under the mud of materialism, and be frozen in indifference, and hidden in oblivion for years and centuries and cycles, but the on-moving glacier of time will at last reveal them to the light and glory of the judgment day, and then will they stink in the nostrils of God, and of angels and of all the assembled multitudes. (R. S. Barrett.) Parallel Verses KJV: Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.WEB: Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. |
