Respect, Honor and Duty, I Timothy 5, NT S1:E247

If we offered others the respect Paul encourages in this passage, the Church would be a safe haven for all! He goes on to discuss the special honor due family members, pastors, and I add those who serve for the common good. The helping professions, especially those that require some to put themselves in harm's way, are a powerful expression of God's love at work in the world.
