1 Tim 5:22-25 ?

The saying that concealed sins and good works 'can't be hidden' resonates with the proverb that crooked ways will be found out while integrity walks securely. Wisdom's confidence that character is eventually disclosed informs the chapter's closing aphorism.

Low confidence
Acts 13:4-12 ?

'He who perverts his ways will be found out' supplies the wisdom background for condemning one who makes crooked the straight paths of the Lord. Faint, idiomatic.
