NETBible

Elders who provide effective leadership 1  must be counted worthy 2  of double honor, 3  especially those who work hard in speaking 4  and teaching.

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “who lead well.”

2 tn Or “deserving.”

3 tn Like the similar use of “honor” in v. 3, this phrase
denotes both respect and remuneration: “honor plus honorarium.”

4 tn Or “in preaching”; Grk “in word.”
