The
Treatment of Elders:
The purpose of Paul's letter to Timothy was to set forth how
the church was to conduct itself. He had just discussed at length how the
church was to treat its widows, including financial support for some. He now
turns his attention to the church and its conduct towards its leaders, the
eldership.

Qualifications
of Overseers
The apostle Paul instructed
Timothy to teach the Christians in Ephesus how they were to conduct
themselves as members of the Lord's church. The church needs to emphasize
prayer, first Timothy 2: 1, 2; Men and women have direct roles in the
church, first Timothy 2: 8-15; the church is to be led by overseers, 1
Timothy 3: 1-7. The church, therefore, needs to understand the
qualifications and work of these overseers.

1-7, Titus 1: 5-11. |
