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.
