'Elder' in the Bible
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
