19Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.
20Say sharp words to sinners when all are present, so that the rest may be in fear.
21I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.
22Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.
23Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.
24The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.
25In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.
