1 Timothy 2:3

2:3 Such prayer for all ¹  is good and welcomed before God our Savior,

1 Timothy 5:20

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

¹ tn Grk “this”; the referent (such prayer for all, referring to vv. 1-2) is specified in the translation for clarity.

² sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

³ tn Or “censured.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

⁴ tn “Before all” probably refers to the whole congregation, not just all the elders; “the rest” is more likely to denote the remaining elders.

⁵ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”
