1 Timothy 5:19-25

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. ²³ No longer drink only water, but ^(I)use a little wine ^(J)for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments. ²⁴ The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others appear later. ²⁵ So also good works are conspicuous, and ^(K)even those that are not cannot remain hidden.
