Study Note

The instruction that elders who rule well deserve 'double honor' (diplees times), especially those who labor in word and doctrine, addresses the material support of church leadership with a standard derived from Deuteronomy 25:4 ('you shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out grain'). The 'double honor' likely means both respectful recognition and financial remuneration — combining the social and material dimensions of congregational obligation. The singling out of those who 'labor in word and doctrine' suggests a distinction between administrative leadership and teaching-preaching ministry, with the latter meriting particular support. Paul's principle in 1 Corinthians 9:14 ('the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel') provides the foundational apostolic teaching on ministerial support.
