And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip
the saints for the work of ministry, for building
up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the
unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we
may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by
the waves and carried about by every wind of
doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in
deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in
love, we are to grow up in every way into him who
is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole
body, joined and held together by every joint
with which it is equipped, when each part is
working properly, makes the body grow so that it
builds itself up in love. (Ephesians
411-16)

So then, my brothers, when you come together to
eat, wait for one another-- if anyone is hungry,
let him eat at home--so that when you come
together it will not be for judgment. About the
other things I will give directions when I come.

preach the word be ready in season and out of
season reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with
complete patience and teaching. For the time is
coming when people will not endure sound
teaching, but having itching ears they will
accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their
own passions, and will turn away from listening
to the truth and wander off into myths. As for
you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do
the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
