1 Timothy 5:20-22
International Children’s Bible
20 Tell those who keep on sinning that they are wrong. Do this in front of the whole church so that the others will have a warning.
21 Before God and Jesus Christ and the chosen angels, I command you to do these things. Be careful to do them without showing favor to anyone.
22 Think carefully before you lay your hands on[a] anyone for the Lord’s service. Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
