ministry

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
