1 Timothy 5:17-20

Let the church elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For the WORD of GOD says, "Do not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages." Never listen to accusations against a church elder unless it is brought by two or more witnesses. Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the others will heed the warning.
