Qualifications of an ELDER (vs. 6-9)
“And elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.

He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
