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.

Ibrani 13:17

13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work. ⁵  Let them do this ⁶  with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you.

[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.”

[13:17]  ⁵ tn Or “as ones who will give an account”; Grk “as giving an account.”

[13:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “that they may do this.”
