1 Timothy 5:15-17
International Standard Version
15 For some widows[a] have already turned away to follow Satan. 16 If any woman[b] is a believer and has relatives who are widows, she should help them. The church should not be burdened, so it can help those widows who have no other family members to care for them.[c]
Elders and Their Duties
17 Elders who handle their duties[d] well should be considered worthy of double compensation,[e] especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
