first class, assumed as true. {How to rule} (prost(886e)ai). Second
aorist active infinitive of same verb proist(886d)i and with
oiden means "know how to rule," not "know that he rules." {How}
(p(9373)). Rhetorical question expecting negative answer. {Shall he
take care of} (epimel(8873)etai). Future middle of epimeleomai,
old compound (epi, direction of care towards) verb, in LXX, in
N.T. only here and  Lu 10:34f . {The church of God} (ekkl(8873)ias
theou). Anarthrous as in verse  15 , elsewhere with article
( 1Co 10:32  15:9  2Co 1:1  Ga 1:13 ). The local church described
as belonging to God. No one in N.T. but Paul ( Ac 20:28 ) so
describes the church. This verse is a parenthesis in the
characteristics of the bishop.
