acts 6:3 "But select from among you, brethren, seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.

< Acts 6:2
Acts 6:4 >

      3. look ye out among you--that is, ye, "the multitude," from among yourselves.
      seven men of honest report--good reputation (Ac 10:22; 1Ti 3:7).
      full of the Holy Ghost--not full of miraculous gifts, which would have been no qualification for the duties required, but spiritually gifted (although on two of them miraculous power did rest).
      and wisdom--discretion, aptitude for practical business.
      whom we may appoint--for while the election was vested in the Christian people, the appointment lay with the apostles, as spiritual rulers.

JFB.
