1 Timothy 5:17-22

¹⁷Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

¹⁸For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”

¹⁹Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

²⁰But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

²¹I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to maintain these principles without bias, and to do nothing out of partiality.

²²Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
