οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι & ἀξιούσθωσαν
the well /having/_led elders & /let_be_being/_considered_worthy
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language.

Alternate translation: “The believers should consider the elders having led them well to be worthy”

Alternate translation: “of double the honor given to others” or “of double the payment that is given to others”

5:17-25 Elders: As in Judaism, community leaders (see also 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9) were usually older men who were leaders in the wider community. The letters to Timothy and Titus recognize an office of elders, as here (see also 1 Tim 4:14; Titus 1:5), but the word is also used generally for older men in the community (as in 1 Tim 5:1).
