Instructions for elders

¹⁷ Elders who lead well should be paid double, especially those who work with public speaking and teaching. ¹⁸ The scripture says, Don’t put a muzzle on an ox while it treads grain,^[a] and Workers deserve their pay.^{[b] 19} Don’t accept an accusation made against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses.
