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,

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over 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,

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.For the Scripture says,“ You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And,“ The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.

for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you,

“ To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write:“ The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.“ To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write:“ He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden lamp stands says these things:

“ To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write:“ The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

“ To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write:“ He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

“ To the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write:“ He who has the sharp two- edged sword says these things:

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.Then he said to them,“ The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.

Are they servants of Christ?( I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.

Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

“ To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write:“ The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

“ And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write:“ He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things:“ I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint- hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly;not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you.

Then he said to his disciples,“ The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;

I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

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

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
