'Worthy' in the Bible

Deacons, likewise, should be worthy of respect, not hypocritical, not drinking a lot of wine, not greedy for money,

Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything.

The elders who are good leaders should be considered worthy of an ample honorarium, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

For the Scripture says:Do not muzzle an oxwhile it is treading out the grain, and,the worker is worthy of his wages.

All who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters to be worthy of all respect, so that God’s name and His teaching will not be blasphemed.
