1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
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.
19 Accept no accusation against an elder, except at two or three witnesses. 20 Those who sin, rebuke in the sight of all, so that the others may also have fear. 21 I solemnly testify before God, and Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen agents, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing from partiality. 22 Lay hands hastily on no man, nor contribute to other sins. Keep thyself pure. 23 No longer drink water, but use a little wine because of thy stomach and thy frequent weaknesses. 24 The sins of some men are evident, leading to judgment, but also for some they follow after. 25 Likewise also good works are evident, and those faring otherwise cannot be hid.
