Bible verses about "enabling" | AUV

²² Do not be in a hurry to lay hands on anyone [i.e., to appoint them to office. See 4:14], and do not participate in the sins of other people. [Note: If Timothy failed to carefully determine the qualifications of a prospective elder before appointing him, it would make him partially responsible for any wrongdoing by that elder]. Keep yourself pure [i.e., of involvement in anyone’s sins].

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we gave you this order: If any person does not [want to] work, he should not [get to] eat. ¹¹ For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, refusing to work, but [instead] are just being busybodies. ¹² Now we command and urge such people, in [the fellowship of] the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work quietly and earn their own living. ¹³ But you, brothers, should not get tired of doing what is right. ¹⁴ And if any person does not obey our instructions, [given] in this letter, you should take note of him so that you do not associate with him, in hope that he will become ashamed [of his conduct]. ¹⁵ And yet do not consider him to be an enemy, but warn him as [you would] a [Christian] brother.
