Regarding the topic of paying Christian preachers today, there is ample evidence that the early preachers (”elders” in the scripture quoted) were unpaid. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts, and “honour” and “reward” in this scripture have other valid interpretations besides monetary reward or benefits such as a parsonage, Church supplied automobile, etc. I could easily cite numerous other scriptures and historical texts that clearly show that early Church leaders did not start being supported by either the congregation or the Roman Empire until much later, i.e., after great apostasy and evil had crept in.

“You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts, “

The fact is that GOD says it is right and good. I believe Him. If you choose to disbelieve, that is your call.

When you didn’t muzzle an oxen as it threshed grain, it ate (made it’s living) from its work. God chose that to illustrate the principle. Christians are not required to be paid, but it is perfectly acceptable to GOD.
