§ 1Tim.
5:17 “The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are
worthy of double honor, especially those whose work
is preaching and teaching.”
§ Heb. 13:17 “Obey your leaders and submit
to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give
an account. Obey them so that their work will be
a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.”
