1 Timothy 5:21-23
J.B. Phillips New Testament
21 Timothy, I solemnly charge you in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the holy angels to follow these orders with the strictest impartiality and to have no favourites.
22 Never be in a hurry to ordain a man, or you may be making yourself responsible for his sins. Be careful that your own life is pure.
