Without Prejudice or Partiality

1Tim 5:21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

Having just alluded to the fear of public shame in the previous verse, Paul applies this to Timothy to motivate him. For Paul invokes the highest audience - God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels - as witnesses to Timothy's ministry. In particular Paul was concerned about prejudice developing. For such have been the downfall or the marginalization of many who have held positions of institutional authority. But one is safer if one keeps a views towards pleasing God rather than man.
