⁵ And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

¹⁰ And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.

³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--

⁶ And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

⁷ Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;

⁸ He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

⁸ As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

⁹ And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

⁶ There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

²⁸ And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

²⁹ Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all the power of working wonders?

¹¹ And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;

¹² For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of Christ:

¹¹ And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
