16 If any believing woman (A)has widows, she must (B)assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are (C)widows indeed.
Honoring the Elders
17 (D)The elders who (E)lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who (F)labor [a]at preaching the word and teaching. 18 For the Scripture says, “(G)You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing,” and “(H)The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
