1 Timothy 5:18-20
International Children’s Bible
18 For the Scripture says, “When an ox is working in the grain, do not cover its mouth to keep it from eating.”[a] And the Scripture also says, “A worker should be given his pay.”[b]
19 Do not listen to someone who accuses an elder, unless there are two or three other persons who say he did wrong. 20 Tell those who keep on sinning that they are wrong. Do this in front of the whole church so that the others will have a warning.
