I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
Doing nothing by partiality ...  An elder, or a minister, must not be partial as regards his activity among the members.  Many a ministry has been wrecked on this shoal.  There is a kind of partiality that develops a little "clique" of the preacher's special friends, or gives undue attention and publicity to the work of a few, instead of to the many, which is critical of conduct in some which is allowed in others, etc., etc.  All such partiality is self-destructive of the minister's effectiveness and unproductive as far as the church is concerned.
