1 Timothy 5:17-22

17 1The elders who 2lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who 3work hard 4at preaching and teaching. 18For the Scripture says, “5You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing,” and “6The laborer is worthy of his wages.” 19Do not accept an accusation against an 7elder except on the basis of 8two or three witnesses. 20Those who continue in sin, 9rebuke in the presence of all, 10so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning. 21 11I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality. 22 12Do not lay hands upon anyone too quickly and 13thereby share 14responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself 15free from sin.
