Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.

Brothers and sisters, we ask you to accept the godly leaders who work hard among you. They care for you in the Lord. They correct you.

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance.

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

But we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who diligently labor among you and are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you instruction,

And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who labor among you and preside over you in the Lord and admonish you,

But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that[ is] unprofitable for you.

Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of[ their] conversation.

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer[ is] worthy of his reward.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.

That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with[ us], and laboureth.

But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which[ was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

We then,[ as] workers together[ with him], beseech[ you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry,[ ye are] God’s building.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet[ are] like fine brass;

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly[ is] great, but the labourers[ are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Are they ministers of Christ?( I speak as a fool) I[ am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all[ men].

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight[ thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;Neither as being lords over[ God’s] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly[ is] plenteous, but the labourers[ are] few;Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat[ him] as a father;[ and] the younger men as brethren;

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
