1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners
17 Let the elders, who preside well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially those that labour in preaching and teaching. 18 For the scripture saith, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn:" and, "The workman is worthy of his hire."
19 Receive not an accusation against an elder, unless from two or three witnesses. 20 Those that offend reprove before all, that others also may fear. 21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou keep to these things without preference of persons, doing nothing with partiality. 22 Lay hands on no man precipitately, and be not hereby a partaker in the sins of others. Keep thyself pure. 23 Drink no longer water only, but use a little wine with it, for the sake of thy stomach and thy frequent infirmities. 24 The sins of some men are notorious, leading as it were to their condemnation; and some more artful they follow after. 25 So also the good works of some are manifest; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
