Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 Timothy 5:20-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

20. Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the rest will also be afraid.

21. I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.

22. Don’t be too quick to appoint anyone as an elder, and don’t share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

23. Don’t continue drinking only water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

24. Some people’s sins are obvious, going before them to judgment, but the sins of others surface later.

25. Likewise, good works are obvious, and those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden.
