Duties of the Elders

1 Peter 5:1-4 King James Version (KJV)

5 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:

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;

³ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

1 Timothy 5:17 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷ Let the Elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

James 5:14 King James Version (KJV)

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:

Acts 15:1-2 King James Version (KJV)

15 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

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.
