1 Timothy 5:15-17
New International Reader's Version
15 In fact, some have already turned away to follow Satan.
16 Suppose a woman is a believer and takes care of widows. She should continue to help them. She shouldn’t let the church pay the expenses. Then the church can help the widows who really need it.
17 The elders who do the church’s work well are worth twice as much honor. That is true in a special way of elders who preach and teach.
