'Duties' in the Bible

Elders who handle their duties well should be considered worthy of double compensation, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

When everything had been arranged like this, the priests always went into the first part of the tent to perform their duties.

Continue to follow and be submissive to your leaders, since they are watching over your souls as those who will have to give a word of explanation. By doing this, you will be letting them carry out their duties joyfully, and not with grief, for that would be harmful for you.
