1 TIMOTHY 5:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.”
As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear — the public rebuke (apochēsis) of unrepentant elders serves both correction and deterrent (phobos): the community witnesses the consequences of continued transgression. Ecclesiastical discipline functions as pedagogy.
