through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

of which I -- I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God,

according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
