1 Timothy 5:18 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

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.

19 Ne reçois point d’accusation contre un ancien, si ce n’est sur la déposition de deux ou trois témoins.

20 Ceux qui pèchent, reprends-les devant tous, afin que les autres aussi éprouvent de la crainte.
