I Timothy 5:24-25 says something about sins that suprises us. In essence Paul is telling Timothy that he is to withold judgment concerning the men in his congregation, especially those who he would have to be elders, both as to their innocence and to their guilt. He encourages suspicion-- a Godly suspicion. Timothy is to be as suspicious of others as he is of himself, and as suspicious of himself as he ought to be. Timothy is to have his eyes open, and wait for time to prove God's judgment. "Every man's way seems right in his own eyes, but God judges the heart." and "Seach me and see if there is any hidden fault."
