1 Timothy 5:17

Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners

¹⁶ If any believing woman has widows, she must help them, and the church must not be burdened, in order that it may help those [who are] truly widows. ¹⁷ The elders who lead well must be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor by speaking and teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox [while it] is threshing," and "The worker [is] worthy of his wages."
