1 Timothy 5:20-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁰ As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest also may stand in fear. ²¹ In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, I warn you to keep these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality. ²² Do not ordain^[a] anyone hastily, and do not participate in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
