1 Timothy 5:17-19

17Let the elders who take the lead [among the saints] well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and teaching;

18for the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman [is] worthy of his hire.

19Against an elder receive not an accusation unless where there are two or three witnesses.
