“Give a bonus to leaders who do a
good job, especially the ones who work hard at preaching and teaching.
Scripture tells us, ‘Don’t muzzle a working ox,’ and, ‘A worker deserves his
pay.’ Don’t listen to a complaint against a leader that isn’t backed up by
two or three responsible witnesses.
“If anyone falls into sin, call
that person on the carpet. Those who are inclined that way will know right off
they can’t get by with it.
“God and Jesus and angels all
back me up in these instructions. Carry them out without favoritism,
without taking sides. Don’t appoint people to church leadership positions too
hastily. If a person is involved in some serious sins, you don’t want to become
an unwitting accomplice. In any event, keep a close check on yourself. And
don’t worry too much about what the critics will say.” (1 Timothy 5:17-23a
MSG).
