It has been falsely assumed in the church that the
Elders oversee the spiritual needs of the church and
The Deacons oversee the physical needs.
That is Incorrect: Elders Oversee all needs of the church,
and deacons serve them in the work.
..Deacons are not given oversight; they are given tasks.
The deacon is involved in a ministry, not a position.
I Tim.3:13 “For those who have served well as deacons
obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the Faith which is in Christ Jesus.<br>

Romans 7:1-4 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.<br>

In Greek, when a plural object is combined with a plural subject, we can be discussing one or more objects per subject.
For example, if Bill has a daughter and Jack has a son, it would be proper to say that the men had children. Each man has a single child, but subject "men" indicates more than one man and there is more than one child being assigned to the men. This is well illustrated in I Timothy 3:12 were it mentions deacons must have children. The phrasing allows a deacon to have one or more children.<br>

Regarding Elders: When a singular subject is combined with a plural object, the general rule is that more than one object is under consideration. This is what we have in
I Timothy 3:4 and Titus 1:6.
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.<br>
