20. Them that sin[G264] rebuke[G1651] before[G1799] all,[G3956] that[G2443] others[G3062] also[G2532] may fear.[G2192] [G5401]

21. I charge[G1263] thee before[G1799] God,[G2316] and[G2532] the Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] and[G2532] the[G3588] elect[G1588] angels,[G32] that[G2443] thou observe[G5442] these things[G5023] without[G5565] preferring one before another,[G4299] doing[G4160] nothing[G3367] by[G2596] partiality.[G4346]

22. Lay[G2007] hands[G5495] suddenly[G5030] on no man,[G3367] neither[G3366] be partaker[G2841] of other men's[G245] sins:[G266] keep[G5083] thyself[G4572] pure.[G53]

24. Some[G5100] men's[G444] sins[G266] are[G1526] open beforehand,[G4271] going before[G4254] to[G1519] judgment;[G2920] and[G1161] some[G5100] men they[G2532] follow after.[G1872]

25. Likewise[G5615] also[G2532] the[G3588] good[G2570] works[G2041] of some are[G2076] manifest beforehand;[G4271] and[G2532] they that are[G2192] otherwise[G247] cannot[G1410] [G3756] be hid.[G2928]
