Rom. 12:6-8 | "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness." |
2 Cor. 1:3-7 | "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all
our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble,
with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the
sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our *consolation (comfort) also abounds
through Christ. Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and
salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also
suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And
our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the
sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation." See (Jesus' Example Of Endurance) ![]() |
Eph. 4:11-16 | "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some
prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of
the saints for the work of ministry, for the *edifying (building up) of the
body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of
the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness
of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning
craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive, but, speaking the truth in
love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head - Christ - from whom
the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies,
according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes
growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." See (Renewing Of The Mind - Through God's Word, and Spiritual Growth - And Maturity) |
1 Pet. 4:10 | "As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." |
