Bible Question: What is the duty of an elect-lady in ministry (2John 1:1) |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Mat 22:14; Rom 16:1, 13; Col 3:12; Tit 2:3-5; 2Jo 1:1, 13 ... Jessie23, greetings. The Bible only says she was a chosen lady and continues with her children. Verse 13 says chosen sister. Eklektos is the Grrek word. It is used alsewhere (Mat 22:14, Rom 16:13, Col 3:12) ... so you see it can refer to a person or all Christians. She may of had no leadership role in the church (this is a person letter), or could of been a deaconess, like Phebe (Rom 16:1) or a teacher of younger women (Tit 2:3-5). I hope I helped, Searcher |
