1 Timothy 5:19 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien, sean tenidos por dignos de doblada honra; mayormente los que trabajan en predicar y enseñar.

18 Porque la Escritura dice: No embozarás al buey que trilla; y: Digno es el obrero de su jornal.

19 Contra el anciano no recibas acusación sino con dos ó tres testigos.

20 A los que pecaren, repréndelos delante de todos, para que los otros también teman.

21 [Te] requiero delante de Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, y de sus ángeles escogidos, que guardes estas cosas sin perjuicio de nadie, que nada hagas inclinándote á la una parte.
