The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.
NIV
The sins of some men are conspicuous (openly evident to all eyes), going before them to the judgment [seat] and proclaiming their sentence in advance; but the sins of others appear later [following the offender to the bar of judgment and coming into view there].
AMP
Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
KJV
