1 Timothy 5:17 - 5:20

Honoring the Elders

17 The elders who lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor at preaching the word and teaching.
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. 20 Those who continue in sin, reprove in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful.
