1 Thessalonians 5:12

“But be on guard, so that your hearts will not be overcome with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such men.

Finally then, brothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

The elders who lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor at preaching the word and teaching.
