1 Timothy 5:17-25 instructs church leaders to honor faithful elders with respect and fair compensation, especially those who preach and teach. It emphasizes impartial judgment, public rebuke of sin to deter others, and caution in appointing leaders to avoid sharing in their sins. Leaders must maintain personal purity, and Timothy is advised to use wine medicinally. The passage concludes by noting that some sins and good deeds are evident, while others will be revealed in time.
