1599 Geneva Bible
19 [a]Against an Elder receive none accusation, but under two or three witnesses.
20 [b]Them that sin, rebuke openly, that the rest also may fear.
21 ¶ (A)[c]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 [d]Lay hands [e]suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins; keep thyself pure.
