But those who persist in sin The phrase "persist in sin" is crucial in understanding the context of church discipline. The Greek word for "persist" (προσμένω, prosmenō) implies a continuous action, suggesting that the individuals in question are not merely sinning occasionally but are habitually engaging in sinful behavior. This persistence indicates a hardened heart or a refusal to repent, which is why the Apostle Paul emphasizes the need for public rebuke. Historically, the early church faced challenges with members who strayed from the teachings of Christ, and this directive serves as a means to maintain the purity and integrity of the church community. should be rebuked in front of everyone so that the others will stand in fear It is not improbable that St. Paul was especially alluding here to false teaching--to errors of doctrine on the part of some of the Ephesian presbyters. He seems, in his parting address at Miletus to the elders (presbyters) of this very Ephesian Church, to have foreseen such a grievous falling away in the future among their company--"Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:30). Compare also the Epistle to this same Church of Ephesus (Revelation 2:4-5). As the sin, whatever has been its nature, has been committed by men intrusted with a responsible and public charge, so the rebuke and punishment must also be in public, that the warning may then spread over the whole of the various congregations composing the Church, and thus "others also may fear." Verse 20. - Reprove for rebuke, A.V.; in the sight of for before, A.V.; the rest for others, A.V.; be in fear for fear, A.V. Reprove; ἔλεγχε, not ἐπιπλήξῃς, as in ver. 1 (see Matthew 18:15). There, the fault being a private one, the reproof is to be administered in private. But in the case of the sinning presbyter, which is that here intended, Timothy is to reprove the offender "before all," that others also may fear, and may be deterred by their fear from committing a like offence.Parallel Commentaries ...
