1 Timothy 5:17

Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners

¹⁶ If any believing man or believing woman has widows, let them relieve them, and let not the congregation be burdened, so that it may relieve the real widows. ¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well be regarded worthy of double compensation, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture says thou shall not muzzle an ox that is threshing. And the workman is worthy of his wage.
