Since the elders in our congregations submit to Christ, the Head of the congregation, they deserve our full cooperation. ​ — Colossians 1: 18.
(‏ اشعيا ٦١ :‏ ​ ٥ ،‏ ٦‏ )‏ وَبِمَا أَنَّ ٱلشُّيُوخَ فِي جَمَاعَاتِنَا يُذْعِنُونَ لِلْمَسِيحِ ،‏ رَأْسِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ،‏ فَهُمْ يَسْتَحِقُّونَ أَنْ نَتَعَاوَنَ مَعَهُمْ كَامِلًا .‏ —‏ كولوسي ١ :‏ ١٨‏ .‏
