James 5:4, in a passage addressed to the rich, says that the wages withheld from the workmen who mowed their fields are crying out against them. In Luke 10:7 Jesus, sending out seventy-two others ahead of Him, says, “For the worker is worthy of his wages.” 1 Timothy 5:17 says that elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, and 5:18 gives two sayings of the Scripture: do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain, and the worker is worthy of his wages. The page also has both verses joined.

Exodus 21:30, 21:32 and 21:34 are among the ordinances about an ox that gores and a pit left uncovered. Exodus 21:30 says that a man of whom payment is demanded may redeem his life by paying the full amount; 21:32, that if the ox gores a manservant or maidservant, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master and the ox must be stoned; and 21:34, that the owner of the pit shall make restitution. Leviticus 6:4 says that someone who has sinned must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion.

In Galatians 6:9 Paul writes, “in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up,” and Colossians 3:23, addressed to slaves, says to work as for the Lord and not for men. Isaiah 40:31, Luke 1:37 and Philippians 4:13 do not speak of payment; they appear because readers of OpenBible voted for them under this topic.
