20 But if any of the leaders should keep on sinning, they must be corrected in front of the whole group, as a warning to everyone else.
21 In the presence of God and Christ Jesus and their chosen angels, I order you to follow my instructions! Be fair with everyone, and don't have any favourites.
22 Don't be too quick to accept people into the service of the Lord by placing your hands on them.Don't sin because others do, but stay close to God.
23 Stop drinking only water. Take a little wine to help your stomach trouble and the other illnesses you always have.
24 Some people get caught in their sins straight away, even before the time of judgment. But other people's sins don't show up until later.
25 It is the same with good deeds. Some are easily seen, but none of them can be hidden.
