1 Timothy 5:17

Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners

¹⁶ If any woman who believes has widows, let her assist them, and do not let the church be burdened; that it might help those widows who are truly in need. ¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
