‏ 1 Timothy 5:24-25

Evident ( προδηλο ). "Openly plain," "plain before all." Old word, in N.T. only here and Heb 7:24.

Going before unto judgment ( προαγουσα εις κρισιν ). See 1:18 for προαγω. The sins are so plain that they receive instant condemnation.

And some men also they follow after ( τισιν δε κα επακολουθουσιν ). Associative instrumental case τισιν with επακολουθουσιν for which verb see verse 10, "dog their steps" (Parry) like 1Pe 2:21, not clearly manifest at first, but come out plainly at last. How true that is of secret sins.

Such as are otherwise ( τα αλλως εχοντα ). "Those (deeds, εργα ) which have it otherwise." That is good deeds not clearly manifest.

Cannot be hid ( κρυβηνα ου δυναντα ). Second aorist passive infinitive of κρυπτω. There is comfort here for modest preachers and other believers whose good deeds are not known and not blazoned forth. They will come out in the end. See Mt 5:14-16.
