1 Timotius 5:17

5:17 Elders who provide effective leadership ¹  must be counted worthy ²  of double honor, ³  especially those who work hard in speaking ⁴  and teaching.

1 Timotius 5:22

5:22 Do not lay hands on anyone ⁵  hastily and so identify with the sins of others. ⁶  Keep yourself pure.

[5:17]  ¹ tn Grk “who lead well.”

[5:17]  ² tn Or “deserving.”

[5:17]  ³ tn Like the similar use of “honor” in v. 3, this phrase
denotes both respect and remuneration: “honor plus honorarium.”

[5:17]  ⁴ tn Or “in preaching”; Grk “in word.”

[5:22]  ⁵ tn In context “laying hands on anyone” refers to ordination or official installation of someone as an elder.

[5:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “and do not share in the sins of others.”
