And I would argue as well the command to give double honor to those who rule well in 1 Timothy 5:17. Honor in that passage has to do with payment. Again, I know there's churches, there's groups that say, "Well, pastors shouldn't be paid, which I don't understand. How does a guy who sits in a cubicle for 8 to 10 hours a day, he should get paid, but a pastor who labors in the word and doctrine shouldn't?" And Paul even says that those who make their li or who preach the word should live by that. But pay those, give double honor to those who rule well, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.
