1 Timothy 5:19-20

Context
5:19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it can be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 1  5:20 Those guilty of sin 2  must be rebuked 3  before all, 4  as a warning to the rest. 5 

1 sn An allusion to Deut 17:6, 19:15.

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.”
