1 Timothy 5:20
Them that sin ( τους αμαρτανοντας ). The elders who continue to sin (present active participle).In the sight of all ( ενωπιον παντων ). "In the eye of ( ο εν οπ ων, the one who is in the eye of, then combined = ενωπιον ) all" the elders (or even of the church). See next verse 21 and Ga 1:20. Public rebuke when a clear case, not promiscuous gossip.
May be in fear ( φοβον εχωσιν ). Present active subjunctive with ινα (final clause), "may keep on having fear" (of exposure). Possibly, "the rest of the elders."
