1 Timothy 5:17

← 1 Timothy 5:16	1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV)	1 Timothy 5:18 →
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.	Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.	For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
