Ephesians 4:11-12 is an essential text for a theology of ministry and the church.
Excellent, Mike! Thanks so much for sharing. I agree that all pastors are teachers but not vice versa. I wrote this years ago and it's so encouraging to find that I'm in good company. https://inchristus.com/2023/06/24/pastor-or-teacher-or-both-a-closer-look-at-ephesians-4/
That was brilliant. Thank you!
Not sure if this is very much the point, but the KJV version is so much nicer to read.
And I think more accurate in the translation!
It feels like the second version laudably carrying the translators desire to highlight the priesthood of all believers also hides some ultra low-church sentiments?
Exactly!
