1 Timothy 5:19
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
In context
17 Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
18 For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
20 But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.
21 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.
