1 Timothy 5

Church Leaders

17 Church leaders*5.17 church leaders: Or "elders" or "presbyters." who do their job well deserve to be paid*5.17 paid: Or "honored" or "respected." twice as much, especially if they work hard at preaching and teaching. 18 *Dt 25.4;Mt 10.10;Lk 10.7.It is just as the Scriptures say, "Don’t muzzle an ox when you are using it to grind grain." You also know the saying, "Workers are worth their pay."
