1 Timothy 5:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.

¹⁷ Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:

¹⁸ For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
