1 Timothy 5:20

1 Timothy 5:20 The Message (MSG)

If anyone falls into sin, call that person on the carpet. Those who are inclined that way will know right off they can’t get by with it.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

Tell those who continue sinning that they are wrong. Do this in front of the whole church so that the others will have a warning.

Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning.

Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.

As for those [elders] who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all [the congregation], so that the rest will be warned.

Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others.

But if indeed you find that they have sinned, bring correction to them before the congregation so that the rest of the people will respect you.

As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.
