Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Elders who do their duties well should be considered as deserving twice as much as they get, particularly those who work at preaching and teaching. ¹⁸ For the Scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain," and the workman deserves his wages. ¹⁹ Do not listen to an accusation made against an elder, unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.
