1 Timothy 5:19-22
English Standard Version
19 Do not admit a charge against an elder except (A)on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 20 As for those who persist in sin, (B)rebuke them in the presence of all, (C)so that the rest may stand in fear. 21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels (D)I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, (E)doing nothing from partiality. 22 (F)Do not be hasty in the (G)laying on of hands, nor (H)take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

1 Timothy 5:19-22
Common English Bible
19 Don’t accept an accusation made against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses. 20 Discipline those who are sinning in front of everyone so that all the others will be afraid. 21 I charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to follow these practices without bias, and without playing favorites. 22 Don’t rush to commission anyone to leadership, and don’t participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself morally pure.
