1 Timothy 5:17-19 Let the elders having ruled well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Let the elders having ruled well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain," and, "The worker is worthy of his wages." ¹⁹ Do not receive an accusation against an elder unless on the basis of two or three witnesses.
