<p>5:20 <em>Those elders that sin, reprove in the sight of all- </em>The &quot;all&quot; may refer to all the elders; the &quot;rest&quot; who are to take warning from the reproof. I say this because there appears to be a parallel in the next verse, where Timothy is charged before or &quot;in the sight of&quot; &quot;the elect angels&quot;, who I suggest refer to the eldership. For the Lord addresses them as the Angel of the church at Ephesus in Rev. 2.</p><p><em>So that the rest may also be in fear</em>- Reproof in the sight of others is shame based, which we may be somewhat uncomfortable with. But shame was a hugely powerful component in first century Mediterranean psychology and sociology. And perhaps the &quot;sin&quot; in view was connected to this whole issue of good appearance in the sight of others- which pride to this day is the root of so many sins.</p>
