1 TIMOTHY 5:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.”
For the Scripture says, 'You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain,' and 'The laborer deserves his wages' — Paul combines Deuteronomy 25:4 (ox-muzzling) and what appears to be Luke 10:7 (laborer's wage-worthiness) to justify financial support for teaching elders. The dual testimony establishes divine precedent.
