“ You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old. Fear your God; I am the LORD.

In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,

In the same way, encourage the young men to be self-controlled

Don’t accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the rest will be afraid.

Older men are to be self-controlled, worthy of respect, sensible, and sound in faith, love, and endurance.

Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.

“ If your brother sins against you, go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.But if he won’t listen, take one or two others with you, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every fact may be established.If he doesn’t pay attention to them, tell the church. If he doesn’t pay attention even to the church, let him be like a Gentile and a tax collector to you.

“ But you are not to be called‘ Rabbi,’ because you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.

The elders who are good leaders are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed:

The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but must be gentle to everyone, able to teach, and patient,instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth.

When they had appointed elders for them in every church and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party.Then the rest of the Jews joined his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone,“ If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”

The reason I left you in Crete was to set right what was left undone and, as I directed you, to appoint elders in every town.An elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with faithful children who are not accused of wildness or rebellion.

When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.

Pay your obligations to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes, tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect, and honor to those you owe honor.
