5:17 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.
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.”
5 tn Grk “teaches other doctrines,” (different from apostolic teaching, cf. 1 Tim 1:3).
