Take heed G4337 therefore to yourselves, G1438 and to all G3956 the flock, G4168 over G1722 the which G3739 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 has made G5087 you overseers, G1985 to feed G4165 the church G1577 of God, G2316 which G3739 he has purchased G4046 with his own G2398 blood. G129

Which G3739 also G2532 they did, G4160 and sent G649 it to the elders G4245 by the hands G5495 of Barnabas G921 and Saul. G4569

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

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

The elder G4245 to the elect G1588 lady G2959 and her children, G5043 whom G3739 I love G25 in the truth; G225 and not I only, G3441 but also G2532 all G3956 they that have G2192 known G1097 the truth; G225

The elder G4245 to the well beloved G27 Gaius, G1050 whom G3739 I love G25 in the truth. G225
