1 Timothy 1:8

1 Timothy 5:20

5:20 Those guilty of sin ¹  must be rebuked ²  before all, ³  as a warning to the rest. ⁴ 

1 Timothy 6:18

6:18 Tell them to do good, ⁵  to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ⁶

¹ sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

² tn Or “censured.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

³ tn “Before all” probably refers to the whole congregation, not just all the elders; “the rest” is more likely to denote the remaining elders.

⁴ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”

⁵ tn Grk “to do good” (the continuation of 6:17). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 18.

⁶ tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”
