Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the
church the apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their
responsibility is to equip Gods people to do his
work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
This will continue until we all come to such
unity in our faith and knowledge of Gods Son
that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up
to the full and complete standard of Christ.
Ephesians 411-13 (NLT)

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to
teach us what is true and to make us realize what
is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are
wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God
uses it to prepare and equip his people to do
every good work.
2 Timothy 316-17 (NLT)
