1 Timothy 5:18 in Context — 1 Timothy 5

16 Se algum crente ou alguma crente tem viúvas, que as ajude, e não sobrecarregue a igreja, para que ela possa ajudar as que são de verdade viúvas.

17 Os presbíteros [ou: anciãos] que lideram bem sejam estimados como dignos de honra dobrada, principalmente os que trabalham na palavra e na doutrina.

18 Pois a Escritura diz: “Ao boi que debulha não atarás a boca”; e: “o trabalhador é digno do seu salário”.

19 Não aceites acusação contra um presbítero, a não ser com duas ou três testemunhas.

20 Aos que pecarem, repreende-os na presença de todos, para que os outros também tenham temor.
