1 Timothy 5:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ If any believing woman has relatives who are widows, let her care for them. Let the church not be burdened, so that it may care for those ^(A)who are truly widows.

¹⁷ Let the elders ^(B)who rule well be considered worthy of ^(C)double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, ^(D)“You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, ^(E)“The laborer deserves his wages.”
