1 Timothy 5:16-18

New Matthew Bible

¹⁶ And if any man or woman who believes has widows, let them minister to them, and do not let the congregation be charged, so that you may have sufficient for those who are widows indeed.

¹⁷ The elders who lead well are worthy of double honour, most especially those who labour in the word and teaching. ¹⁸ For the scripture says: You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn, and: The labourer is worthy of his reward.
