1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
17 Let the elders who rule well be accounted worthy of a double compensation, especially those who labor in word and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle the ox that threshes; and, The laborer is worthy of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, except by two or three witnesses. 20 Those that sin, rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 21 I charge you before God, and Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that you keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing from partiality. 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither partake of others' sins. Keep yourself pure. 23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine on account of your stomach and your frequent infirmities. 24 The sins of some men are manifest, going before to judgment; but some they follow; 25 in like manner also good works are manifest, and those which are otherwise cannot be hid.
