This article is about the calling, qualifications and the weaknesses of the elder (office-bearer). The author also looks at the instruction and warning of the elder and the life-experience of the elder. Romans 15:14 is also mentioned in this article.

This article starts by focusing on God's help in our weaknesses, and specifically the support of the Holy Spirit in our weakness. Through the work of the Spirit we may have rest in the midst of unrest. The author then asks the question if we will always receive healing and if suffering will always be taken away from us.
