1 Timothy 3:5
New King James Version (NKJV)
“5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of ‘God’ ([ha-]’Elohiym: [the-] Magistrates, [the-] Great – ones, [the-] Mighty – ones, etc..)
Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon:
G-d: 430 ‘elohiym el-o-heem’ plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:–angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great [ones], judges, X mighty [ones].
