Obey your leaders and submit to them, since they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

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,and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

Let the one who is taught the word share all his good things with the teacher.

Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t move from house to house.

Therefore, welcome him in the Lord with great joy and hold people like him in honor,

if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

The hardworking farmer ought to be the first to get a share of the crops.

Remember your leaders who have spoken God’s word to you. As you carefully observe the outcome of their lives, imitate their faith.

Don’t we have the right to be accompanied by a believing wife like the other apostles, the Lord’s brothers, and Cephas?Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working?Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not drink the milk from the flock?Am I saying this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the law also say the same thing?For it is written in the law of Moses, Do not muzzle an ox while it treads out grain. Is God really concerned about oxen?Isn’t he really saying it for our sake? Yes, this is written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes should thresh in hope of sharing the crop.If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?If others have this right to receive benefits from you, don’t we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right; instead, we endure everything so that we will not hinder the gospel of Christ.Don’t you know that those who perform the temple services eat the food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the offerings of the altar?In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel.

So they heaped many honors on us, and when we sailed, they gave us what we needed.

Yes, they were pleased, and indeed are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual benefits, then they are obligated to minister to them in material needs.

Yes, I also ask you, true partner, to help these women who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my coworkers whose names are in the book of life.

After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go.He told them,“ The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.

( If anyone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of God’s church?)

They did this, sending it to the elders by means of Barnabas and Saul.

Return to a stronghold, you prisoners who have hope; today I declare that I will restore double to you.

I will first repay them double for their iniquity and sin because they have polluted my land. They have filled my inheritance with the carcasses of their abhorrent and detestable idols.”

For this reason we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

by holding firm to the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.

Pay close attention to your life and your teaching; persevere in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.

Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who have worked hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”

“ Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and announce to her that her time of hard service is over, her iniquity has been pardoned, and she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.”

Let my persecutors be put to shame, but don’t let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified. Bring on them the day of disaster; shatter them with total destruction.

In every way I’ve shown you that it is necessary to help the weak by laboring like this and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them.

The Lord said,“ Who then is the faithful and sensible manager his master will put in charge of his household servants to give them their allotted food at the proper time?

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching.

Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who are from Italy send you greetings.

Then he said to his disciples,“ The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few.Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.”

If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the good teaching that you have followed.

Take note: I have told you in advance.
