1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
17 Let the elders having presided well be deemed worthy of double honour, chiefly they being wearied in word and doctrine. 18 For the writing says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox grinding. And, The laborer worthy of his hire.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation from without, except from two or three witnesses. 20 Them having sinned rebuke before all, that the rest also have fear. 21 I call to witness before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that thou watch these things without preference, doing nothing by bending. 22 Put hands swiftly upon none, nor participate in others' sins: keep thyself pure. 23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach and thy frequent weaknesses. 24 Some men's sins are manifest, going before to judgment; and also to some they follow in the train. 25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest; and having these otherwise, it cannot be hid.
