# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Paul again talks of how elders (overseers) should be treated and then gives Timothy some personal instructions.
|
|
|
|
# Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "All believers should think of the elders who are good leaders as worthy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

|
# double honor
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "respect and payment" or 2) "more respect than others receive"

# those who work with the word and in teaching
|
|
|
|
"Word" here is a metonym for "message." Paul speaks about the word as if it is an object which a person can work with. AT: "those who preach and teach God's word" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

|
# For the scripture says
|
|
|
|
This is personification that means that this is what someone has written in the scriptures. AT: "For we read in the scriptures that" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# You shall not put a muzzle on an ox while it treads the grain
|
|
|
|
Paul is using this quotation as a metaphor meaning that church leaders deserve to receive payment from the Christian community for their work. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# muzzle
|
|
|
|
a sleeve that goes over an animal's snout and mouth to prevent it from eating while it is doing work (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])
|
|
|
|
# treads the grain
|
|
|
|
And ox "treads the grain" when it walks on or pulls a heavy object over the cut grain to separate the grain from the stalks. The ox was allowed to eat some of the grain as they worked.
