1 Timothy 5:19–22

19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elderg unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.h 20 But those elders who are sinning you are to reprovei before everyone, so that the others may take warning.j 21 I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesusk and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.

22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands,l and do not share in the sins of others.m Keep yourself pure.n
