1 Timothy 5:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 But if any of the leaders should keep on sinning, they must be corrected in front of the whole group, as a warning to everyone else.
21 In the presence of God and Christ Jesus and their chosen angels, I order you to follow my instructions! Be fair with everyone, and don't have any favorites.
22 Don't be too quick to accept people into the service of the Lord[a] by placing your hands on them.
Don't sin because others do, but stay close to God.
