1 Timothy 5:16 in Context — 1 Timothy 5
14 Je veux donc que les jeunes se marient, qu’elles aient des enfants, qu’elles dirigent leur maison, qu’elles ne donnent à l’adversaire aucune occasion de médire;
15 car déjà quelques-unes se sont détournées pour suivre Satan.
16 Si quelque fidèle, homme ou femme, a des veuves, qu’il les assiste, et que l’Église n’en soit point chargée, afin qu’elle puisse assister celles qui sont véritablement veuves.
17 Que les anciens qui dirigent bien soient jugés dignes d’un double honneur, surtout ceux qui travaillent à la prédication et à l’enseignement.
18 Car l’Écriture dit: Tu n’emmuselleras point le bœuf quand il foule le grain. Et l’ouvrier mérite son salaire.
