There's Titus 2:3.  In Titus 2:2, presbuteros refers to male elders, I 
believe, and in Titus 2:3, presbuteros refers to female elders, that 
is to say, male priests and female priests.  My opinion, of course.
It is the function of elders, male and female, to teach the young by 
word and example.  YMMV.
