or
pastor.

[232:7] 1 Tim. v. 17. Mr Ellicott, in his work on the "Pastoral
Epistles," thus speaks of this passage--"The concluding words, [Greek:
en logo kai didask.], certainly seem to imply _two_ kinds of ruling
presbyters, those who preached and taught and those who did not."

[233:1] Compare 1 Cor. xii. 28, and Philip, i. 1; 1 Tim. iii. 1-8.

[233:2] Acts vi. 3, xiv. 23; Titus i. 5; James v. 14.

[233:3] 1 Cor. xiv. 1, 5, 6, 31.

[233:4] Section Rom. xii. 6-8.

[233:5] 1 Tim, iii. 5. Lightfoot says that, "in every synagogue there
was a civil triumvirate, that is, three magistrates who judged of
matters in contest arising within that synagogue."--"Works," xi.179. The
same writer declares that "in every synagogue there were elders that
ruled in civil affairs, and elders that laboured in the word and
doctrine."--"Works," iii. 242, 243.

[234:1] [Greek: diples times]. Those who adduce this passage to prove
that the apostle here defines the pecuniary remuneration of elders
involve themselves in much difficulty; for, if limited to the matter of
payment, and literally interpreted, it would lead to the inference that,
irrespective of the amount of service rendered, all the elders should
receive the same compensation; and that no church teacher, though the
father of a large family, should be allowed more than twice the gratuity
of a poor widow! Compare I Tim. v. 3, and 17. The "double honour" of I
Tim. v. 17, is evidently equivalent to the "all honour" of 1 Tim. vi. 1.
In the latter case there can be no reference to payment. Paul obviously
means to say that the claims of elders should be fully recognized; and
in the following verse (1 Tim. v. 18) he refers pointedly to the
temporal support to which church teachers are entitled.

[234:2] 1 Tim. iii. 2-7.

[234:3] [Greek: didaktikon].

[234:4] Matt. iv. 23; Acts v. 42, xv. 35.

[235:1] Heb. iii. 13.

[235:2] Col. iii. 16.

[235:3] 1 Pet. iii. 15.

[235:4] 2 Tim. ii. 24, 25.

[235:5] Even a female, though not permitted to speak in the Church, had
often this aptness for teaching. Such was the case with the excellent
Priscilla, Acts xviii. 26. The aged women were required to be "teachers
of good things," Titus ii. 3.

[237:1] In the Church of Corinth several speakers were in the habit of
addressing the same meeting. 1 Cor. xiv. 26, 27, 29, 31.

[237:2] 1 Tim. v. 17.

[237:3] Gal. vi. 6.

[237:4] 1 Tim. v. 18.

[237:5] 1 Cor. ix. 14.

[237:6] Matt.
