Read in context

1 Timothy 5:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

20 But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

21 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.

22 Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

23 Stop drinking only water and use a little wine instead, because of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
