20 Aos que pecarem, repreende-os na presença de todos, para que os outros também tenham temor.

21 Ordeno-te, diante de Deus, do Senhor Jesus Cristo, e dos anjos escolhidos, que guardes essas coisas sem preconceitos, fazendo nada por favoritismo.

22 A ninguém imponhas as mãos apressadamente, nem participes dos pecados alheios; conserva-te puro.

23 Não bebas mais [somente] água, mas usa [também] de um pouco de vinho, por causa do teu estômago, e das tuas frequentes enfermidades.

24 Os pecados de algumas pessoas são evidentes antes mesmo do juízo, mas os de algumas são manifestos depois.
