3. look ye out among you —that is, ye, "the multitude," from among yourselves. seven men of honest report —good reputation ( Acts 10:22 ; 1 Timothy 3:7 ). full of the Holy Ghost —not full of miraculous gifts, which would have been no qualification for the duties required, but spiritually gifted (although on two of them miraculous power did rest). and wisdom —discretion, aptitude for practical business. whom we may appoint —for while the election was vested in the Christian people, the appointment lay with the apostles, as spiritual rulers. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
