1 Timothy 5:17

Honoring Worthy Elders And Dealing With Sinners

¹⁶ If any woman is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. The church should not be burdened, so it can help those widows who have no other family members to care for them. ¹⁷ Elders who handle their duties well should be considered worthy of double compensation, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain," and, "A worker deserves his pay."
