1 Timothy 5:18-20
New Century Version
1 Timothy 5:18-20
New Century Version
18 because the Scripture says: “When an ox is working in the grain, do not cover its mouth to keep it from eating,”[a] and “A worker should be given his pay.”[b]
19 Do not listen to someone who accuses an elder, without two or three witnesses. 20 Tell those who continue sinning that they are wrong. Do this in front of the whole church so that the others will have a warning.
