1 TIMOTHY 5:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.”
I charge you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels, keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality — Paul invokes divine witness (God, Christ, elected angels) to ensure Timothy's impartial administration of disciplinary justice. Partiality (proslēpsis) corrupts judgment.
