17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
18For the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
19Don`t receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses.
20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
21I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
22Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men`s sins. Keep yourself pure.
23Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach`s sake and your frequent infirmities.
