20 Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others.
21 I solemnly command you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus and the highest angels to obey these instructions without taking sides or showing favoritism to anyone.
When's the last time these verses were followed in a church near you? Do today's Christian pastors even know these verses are in the New Testament? Probably conveniently ignored or explained away as they would impact tithe levels.
