Ephesians 4: 11Christ chose some of us to be apostles, prophets, missionaries, pastors, and teachers, 12so that his people would learn to serve and his body would grow strong. 13This will continue until we are united by our faith and by our understanding of the Son of God. Then we will be mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him. 14We must stop acting like children. We must not let deceitful people trick us by their false teachings, which are like winds that toss us around from place to place. 15Love should always make us tell the truth. Then we will grow in every way and be more like Christ, the head 16of the body. Christ holds it together and makes all of its parts work perfectly, as it grows and becomes strong because of love. (CEV)
Romans 12: 1...So I beg you to offer your bodies to
him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible
way to serve God. 2Don't be like the people of this world, but
let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything
that is good and pleasing to him...
6God has also given each of us different
gifts to use. If we can prophesy, we should do it according to the amount
of faith we have. 7If we can serve others, we should serve.
If we can teach, we should teach, 8If we can encourage others,
we should encourage them. If we can give, we should be generous. If we
are leaders, we should do our best. If we are good to others, we should
do it cheerfully. (CEV)
Matthew 10: 41Anyone who welcomes a prophet, just because that person is a prophet, will be given the same reward as a prophet. Anyone who welcomes a good person, just because that person is good, will be given the same reward as a good person. 42And anyone who gives one of my most humble followers a cup of cool water, just because that person is my follower, will surely be rewarded. (CEV)
