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 

[5:20]  ¹ sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

[5:20]  ² tn Or “censured.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

[5:20]  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.

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”
