And when they had ordained G5500 them elders G4245 in every G2596 church, G1577 and had prayed G4336 with fasting, G3521 they commended G3908 them to the Lord, G2962 on G1519 whom G3739 they believed. G4100

And when they were come G3854 to Jerusalem, G2419 they were received G588 of the church, G1577 and of the apostles G652 and elders, G4245 and they declared G312 all G3745 things that God G2316 had done G4160 with them.

And the apostles G652 and elders G4245 came G4863 together G4863 for to consider G1492 of this G5127 matter. G3056

And they wrote G1125 letters by them after this G3592 manner; G3592 The apostles G652 and elders G4245 and brothers G80 send greeting G5463 to the brothers G80 which G3588 are of the Gentiles G1484 in Antioch G490 and Syria G4947 and Cilicia. G2791

And as they went G1279 through G1279 the cities, G4172 they delivered G3860 them the decrees G1378 for to keep, G5442 that were ordained G2919 of the apostles G652 and elders G4245 which G3588 were at G1722 Jerusalem. G2419

And from Miletus G3399 he sent G3992 to Ephesus, G2181 and called G3333 the elders G4245 of the church. G1577

Let the elders G4245 that rule G4291 well G2573 be counted G515 worthy G515 of double G1362 honor, G5092 especially G3122 they who labor G2872 in the word G3056 and doctrine. G1319

For this G5127 cause G5484 left G2641 I you in Crete, G2914 that you should set G1930 in order G1930 the things that are wanting, G3007 and ordain G2525 elders G4245 in every G2596 city, G4172 as I had appointed G1299 you:

Is any G5100 sick G770 among G1722 you? let him call G4341 for the elders G4245 of the church; G1577 and let them pray G4336 over G1909 him, anointing G218 him with oil G1637 in the name G3686 of the Lord: G2962

The elders G4245 which are among G1722 you I exhort, G3870 who G3588 am also G2532 an elder, G4850 and a witness G3144 of the sufferings G3804 of Christ, G5547 and also G2532 a partaker G2844 of the glory G1391 that shall be revealed: G601

And Barnabas G921 and Saul G4569 returned G5290 from Jerusalem, G2419 when they had fulfilled G4137 their ministry, G1248 and took G4838 with them John, G2491 whose G3588 surname G1941 was Mark. G3138

And when G3752 I come, G3854 whomsoever G3739 G1437 you shall approve G1381 by your letters, G1992 them will I send G3992 to bring G667 your G5216 liberality G5485 to Jerusalem. G2419

And if G1437 it be meet G514 that I go G4198 also, G2504 they shall go G4198 with me.

For indeed G3303 he accepted G1209 the exhortation; G3874 but being G5225 more G4707 forward, G4707 of his own G830 accord G830 he went G1831 to you.

And not that only, G3440 but who was also G2532 chosen G5500 of the churches G1577 to travel G4898 with us with this G5124 grace, G5485 which G3588 is administered G1247 by us to the glory G1391 of the same G3778 Lord, G2962 and declaration of your G5216 ready G4288 mind: G4288

Providing G4306 for honest G2570 things, not only G3440 in the sight G1799 of the Lord, G2962 but also G2532 in the sight G1799 of men. G444
