Did you see the words clergy or laity anywhere in the text? Clergy simply means ordained minister(servant).
Laity simply means - not ordained.1Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the **office** of a **BISHOP**, he desireth a good work. 1Tim 3:8 Likewise must the **DEACONS** be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 1Tim 5:17 Let the **ELDERS** THAT **RULE** well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

= Does this mean the entire congregation is ordained elder?? |
