Inner Honor and Reward

1 Timothy 5:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 5 in context

Scripture Focus

17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
1 Timothy 5:17-18

Biblical Context

Paul calls for double honor for elders who lead well, especially those who teach. He adds that the worker deserves reward and that we should not muzzle the energy of labor.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the living theater of your mind, the elders are the higher states that govern your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. When you honor them, you reinforce the authority of your own consciousness, elevating the very standards by which you live. The labor in the word and doctrine becomes the discipline of imagination and the steady alignment of your inner speech with truth. The ox that treads out the corn represents your energy in action; do not muzzle it with doubt or disregard—allow its labor to unfold freely in your inner field. The laborer’s reward is not somewhere outside you but the harmony that springs from a rightly imagined state. By honoring your inner authorities and sustaining them with belief, you invite provision, abundance, and steadiness into your life as the natural fruit of your inner labor. You are the I AM; your inner labor yields its own reward when you persist in faith and clarity.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and declare: I honor the inner authorities within me; I allow their labor to bear fruit now. I am worthy of the reward that follows my faithful inner work; feel the alignment as real.
