1 Timothy (1)
Paul begins the first of his four statements about elders on the same note with which he began and ended the preceding discussion of widows - honor - and in both cases honor involves money. The elders who were following his instructions and doing a good job not only were worthy of the peoples' respect but should also be paid for their work (" double honor"). He will continue in v 18 with his reason: workers should be paid. This was Paul's general rule (1 Cor 9: 4-6; cf. Rom 13: 7) although he himself often chose to earn his own living (cf. 1 Cor 4: 12; 2 Cor 11: 7-9; 1 Thess 2: 9; cf. 2 Thess 3: 7-9; Acts 18: 3).
