1 Timothy 5:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ After all, Scripture says, “Never muzzle an ox when it is threshing ^[a] grain,” and “The worker deserves his pay.”

¹⁹ Don’t pay attention to an accusation against a spiritual leader unless it is supported by two or three witnesses. ²⁰ Reprimand those leaders who sin. Do it in front of everyone so that the other leaders will also be afraid.
