1 Timothy 5:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]Them that sin, rebuke openly, that the rest also may fear.
21 ¶ (A)[b]I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou observe these things, without preferring one to another, and do nothing partially.
22 [c]Lay hands [d]suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins; keep thyself pure.

- 1 Timothy 5:22 The [fifth] rule: Let the minister lay hands suddenly on no man. Let him not be faulty herein either by favoring any man’s folly, or perverse affection: If ought be done otherwise than well of his fellows, let him keep his conscience pure.
