                                     ELDER
 
 
 
 
ACT 14:23  And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had
prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
 
ACT 15:2  When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other
of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this
question.
 
ACT 15:22  Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to
send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely,
Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
 
ACT 15:23  And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and
elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in
Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
 
ACT 16:4  And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees
for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at
Jerusalem.
 
ACT 20:17  And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the
church.
 
1TI 4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
 
1TI 5:17  Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour,
especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
 
1TI 5:18  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth
out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
 
1TI 5:19  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three
witnesses.
 
TIT 1:5  For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order
the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed
thee:
 
TIT 1:6  If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children
not accused of riot or unruly.
 
TIT 1:7  For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled,
not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
 
TIT 1:8  But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate;
 
TIT 1:9  Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be
able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
 
JAM 5:14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
 
1PE 5:1  The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a
witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall
be revealed:
 
1PE 5:2  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,
not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
 
1PE 5:3  Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the
flock.
 
1PE 5:4  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of
glory that fadeth not away.
 
1PE 5:5  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you
be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
