1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
17 Let the presbyters that govern well receive a double salary, especially those who are employ'd in preaching and instructing. 18 for the scripture says, "thou shalt not muzzle the ox, when he treads the corn." and, "the labourer is worthy of his reward."
19 don't receive any accusation against a pastor, but upon the deposition of two or three witnesses. 20 Those that transgress reprove in publick, to strike a terror in the rest. 21 I conjure you before God, before our Lord Jesus Christ, and his chosen angels, to observe these rules without prepossession and partiality. 22 Don't be hasty to ordain any man: and be not accessory to the faults of others: preserve your own integrity. 23 Discontinue the drinking of bare water, take a litle wine out of regard to your weak stomach, and your frequent indispositions. 24 The vices of some men are so notorious, they prevent any inquisition: others don't discover themselves till they have been ordain'd. 25 virtue wears no disguise, and vice cannot be long conceal'd.
