ગુજરાતીતિમોથીને પહેલો પત્ર ૫:૧૮
કેમ કે શાસ્ત્રવચન કહે છે કે, ‘કણસલાં ખૂંદનાર બળદના મોં પર જાળી ન બાંધ’ અને ‘કામ કરનાર પોતાના મહેનતણાને પાત્ર છે’.
हिन्दी1 तीमुथियुस ५:१८
क्योंकि पवित्रशास्त्र कहता है, “दाँवनेवाले बैल का मुँह न बाँधना,” क्योंकि “मजदूर अपनी मजदूरी का हकदार है।” (लैव्य. 19:13, व्यव. 25:4)

In context

16If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.

17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

19Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.

20Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
