Are you reading from the Latin Vulgate Bill?  My Bible calls them "elders" - yes they are to be "examples" to
the flock but Jesus is head of the Church and they are at best undershepherds.  How would it have been
possible for one of these men living in Geneva to reign in John Calvin?

Titus 1.7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision . . .
