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.

22 No impongas de ligero las manos á ninguno, ni comuniques en pecados ajenos: consérvate en limpieza.

23 No bebas de aquí adelante agua, sino usa de un poco de vino por causa del estómago, y de tus continuas enfermedades.

24 Los pecados de algunos hombres, antes que vengan [ellos] á juicio, son manifiestos; mas á otros les vienen después.
