1 Timothy 5:19-22
Legacy Standard Bible
19 Do not receive an accusation against an (A)elder except on the basis of (B)two or three witnesses. 20 Those who continue in sin, (C)reprove in the presence of all, (D)so that the rest also will be fearful. 21 (E)I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His elect angels, to observe these instructions without bias, doing nothing in partiality. 22 (F)Do not lay hands upon anyone hastily and [a]thereby share (G)responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
