Paul spoke of those of reputation...

Gal 2:2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

Php 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

Reminds me of the scripture in Proverbs that speaks of having a good name.

Does the NT speak of showing special honour to some? Yes it does...

1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
