Who Are Elders?

Elders are not elevated in status, but elevated in terms of responsibility and respect. The word used in 1 Timothy 3:1 for elder is episkopos, which means leader or overseer

This word was used in the Greek culture to refer to a city manager or inspector, steward. This leader had the duty of commanding, teaching, disciplining, and shepherding the people. Then and today the overseer has a wide range of spiritual responsibility.

They are responsible for our souls (Heb. 13:17).
They direct/administer (1 Tim 5:17).
They preach and teach (1 Tim. 5:17).
They pray (James 5:14).
They care for the church (1 Peter 5:1,2).
They set church policy (Acts 15:22).
They ordain / commission others (1 Tim. 4:14).

Considering these crucial responsibilities, we can see why Paul states that being an elder is "a worthy calling." The phrase means a noble, excellent, high-quality work. No elder should stoop to be a king. Being an elder is the highest and greatest calling one may have.

For that Reason, Paul tells the Thessalonians, "Appreciate those who work hard among you, who lead you in the Lord and teach you. Respect them with a very special love because of the work they do" (1 These. 5:13).
