1 Timothy 5:19-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Do not accept an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses. ²⁰ In the presence of everyone, rebuke the ones who persist in sin, so that the rest may be afraid.

²¹ I solemnly charge you, in the presence of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that you follow these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing out of partiality. ²² Do not lay hands on anyone hastily and do not take part in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
