Honor the Elders

17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.
18 For the Scripture says, a“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, b“The laborer is worthy of his wages.”  
19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except afrom two or three witnesses.  
20 Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.
21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the1 elect angels that you observe these things without aprejudice, doing nothing with partiality.  
22 Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor ashare in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.
