1 Timothy 5:16-21

16If any woman of faith has widows in need, let her help them and not let the community be burdened, so it may help the real widows.

17The elders who lead well are worthy of honor and honorarium—especially those who work hard in the word and teaching.

18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wage.”

19Do not accept an accusation against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

20Correct those who continue sinning in the presence of everyone, so that the rest also may fear.

21I solemnly charge you—before God and Messiah Yeshua and the chosen angels—to observe these things without taking sides, doing nothing out of favoritism.
