1 Timothy 5:18

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G1063} the scripture{G1124} saith{G3004}{(G5719)}, Thou shalt{G5392} not{G3756} muzzle{G5392}{(G5692)} the ox{G1016} that treadeth out the corn{G248}{(G5723)}. And{G2532}, The labourer{G2040} is worthy{G514} of his{G846} reward{G3408}.
Strong's King James
For the Writing says, "YOU MUST NOT MUZZLE AN OX WHILE THRESHING," and "The labourer is worthy of his wages."
The F.O.G*
[18] As Scripture declares, "Don't muzzle an ox while it's threshing grain," and "Workers deserve their wages." These ancient principles show that those who labor in spiritual leadership deserve both respect and proper compensation.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for the Writing saith, ‘An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,’ and ‘Worthy is the workman of his reward.’
Young's Literal Translation
