1 Timothy 5:20-23 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

21. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.

22. Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.

23. (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.)
