THE STRUCTURE OF DISCIPLINE IS FOUR-FOLD. 1. We are commended individually to discipline ourselves. 1 Cor 11:28-32. Ps 26:2; Hag 1:7; 2 Cor 13:5; Gal 6:4; 1 John 3:20-21. 2. Where that is not done then the eldership must act. "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind," 1 Peter 5:2. The word "oversight" means "caring for". or watching over.
