1 Timothy 5:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 If any[a] believing woman has widows in her family, she should help them, and the church should not be burdened, so that it can help those who are genuinely widows.
Honoring the Elders
17 The elders who are good leaders should be considered worthy of an ample honorarium,[b] especially those who work hard(A) at preaching and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says:
Do not muzzle an ox
while it is treading out the grain,(B)[c] and,
the worker is worthy of his wages.(C)
