1 Timothy 5:17

Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners

¹⁶ If any faithful man or woman has widows, let them maintain them and let not the congregation be charged, that it may relieve those that are widows indeed. ¹⁷ The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the grain. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
