1 Timothy 5:17-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

Concerning Elders

^17 (A)The elders who ^(B)rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who ^(C)work hard ^[a]at preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, “^(D)You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” and “^(E)The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
