Connections: An interesting link to the Old Testament in the book of 1 Timothy is Paul’s citation of the basis for considering church elders to be worthy of “double honor,” and deserving of respect when it comes to being accused of wrongdoing (1 Timothy 5:17-19). Deuteronomy 24:15; 25:4; and Leviticus 19:13 all speak of the necessity to pay a worker what he has earned and to do it in a timely manner.
Mashirikisho: Kipatanisho cha kuvutia kwa Agano la Kale katika kitabu cha 1 Timotheo ni dondoo la Paulo la msingi kwa kuzingatia wazee wa kanisa kuwa wanastahili "heshima maradufu," na kustahili heshima wanaposhutumiwa kufanya makosa (1 Timotheo 5: 17-19). Kumbukumbu 24:15, 25: 4 na Mambo ya Walawi 19:13 vyote vinazungumzia umuhimu wa kumlipa mfanyakazi anachostahili kwa wakati ufaao.
