1 Timothy 5:17-23

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.

20Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear.

21I testify before 1God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing by favour.

22Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' sins. Keep thyself pure.

23Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.
