God

The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation.

Simon, whom also he named Peter: and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew;

There were at Antioch, in the congregation, certain prophets and teachers: as Barnabas and Symeon called Niger; And Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch's nurse-fellow, and Saul.

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy ghost hath made you overseers: to rule the congregation of God, which he hath purchased with his blood.

Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith;

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

which mystery in times past was not opened unto the sons of men as it is now declared unto his holy apostles and prophets by the spirit:

And the very same, made some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers:

Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves to them, for they watch for your souls, even as they that must give accounts for them: that they may do it with joy, and not with grief. For that is an unprofitable thing for you.

The elders which are among you I exhort, which am also an elder and a witness of the afflictions of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be opened:

Helps

And I will come down and talk with thee there, and take of the spirit which is upon thee and put upon them, and they shall bear with thee in the burden of the people, and so shalt thou not bear alone.

Governments

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

The elders that rule well are worthy of double honour, most specially they which labour in the word and in teaching.

Diversities

And how hear we every man his own tongue wherein we were born?

General references

So we, being many, are one body in Christ - and every man, among ourselves, one another's members.

For the body is not one member, but many.
