So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

So Christ himself gave the gift of the apostles to the church. He gave the prophets and those who preach the good news. And he also gave the pastors and teachers as a gift to the church.

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers,

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will guide you with knowledge and understanding.

Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages.Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles?

But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.

Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say,“ How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.

That is why the Scriptures say,“ When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.”

“ So guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock— his church, purchased with his own blood— over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.

And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly— not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.

For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them.

You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food.

Among the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch of Syria were Barnabas, Simeon( called“ the black man”), Lucius( from Cyrene), Manaen( the childhood companion of King Herod Antipas), and Saul.

Rejoice over her fate, O heaven and people of God and apostles and prophets! For at last God has judged her for your sakes.

The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted.

The next day we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the Evangelist, one of the seven men who had been chosen to distribute food.
