1 Timothy 5:17-22
EldersG4245 who leadG4291 effectivelyG2573 are worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 those whoG3588 work hardG2872 atG1722 preachingG3056 andG2532 teachingG1319. 18ForG1063 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “Do not muzzleG3756G5392 an oxG1016 while it is treading out the grainG248,”1 andG2532, “TheG3588 workerG2040 is worthyG514 ofG3588 hisG846 wagesG3408.”2
19Do notG3361 entertainG3858 an accusationG2724 againstG2596 an elderG4245, exceptG1622G1487G3361 onG1909 the testimony of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 20ButG1161 those whoG3588 persist in sinG264 should be rebukedG1651 in front ofG1799 everyoneG3956, so thatG2443 theG3588 othersG3062 willG2192 stand in fearG5401 of sin.
21I solemnly chargeG1263 you beforeG1799 GodG2316 andG2532 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 andG2532 theG3588 electG1588 angelsG32 toG2443 maintainG5442 theseG3778 principles withoutG5565 biasG4299, and to doG4160 nothingG3367 out ofG2596 partialityG4346.
22Do not be too quickG5030G3367 in the laying onG2007 of handsG5495 and thereby shareG2841 in the sinsG266 of othersG245. KeepG5083 yourselfG4572 pureG53.
