1 Timothy 5:18 Context
16If any man or woman that beleeueth haue widowes, let them relieue them, and let not the Church be charged, that it may relieue them that are widowes indeed. 17Let the Elders that rule well, be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18For the Scripture saith, Thou shalt not mousell the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19Against an Elder receiue not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare.
