1 Timothy 5:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶ If any woman is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. In this way the church is not burdened and can help widows who have no families.

¹⁷ Give double honor to spiritual leaders^[a] who handle their duties well. This is especially true if they work hard at teaching the word of God. ¹⁸ After all, Scripture says, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing^[b] grain,” and “The worker deserves his pay.”
