1 Timothy / Question
Question source
1 Timothy
Paul says elders who rule well are worthy of “double honor,” especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. He supports this with Scripture statements about not muzzling an ox and paying a laborer his wages. See 1 Timothy 5:17–18.
17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18For the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
