1 Timothy 5:20 Context
18For the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not mousell the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19Against an Elder receiue not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare. 21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partialitie. 22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither bee partaker of other mens sinnes. Keepe thy selfe pure.
