1 Timothy 5:19-22
New American Standard Bible
19 Do not accept an accusation against an (A)elder except on the basis of (B)two or three witnesses. 20 Those who continue in sin, (C)rebuke in the presence of all, (D)so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning. 21 (E)I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality. 22 (F)Do not lay hands upon anyone too quickly and [a]thereby share (G)responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself [b]free from sin.

1 Timothy 5:19-22
American Standard Version
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at the mouth of two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 21 I charge thee in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without [a]prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 22 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
