Take

Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, 'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.

"You shall perform the duty of the sanctuary, and the duty of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel.

My sons, don't be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."

They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

The ministry

For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

Fulfil

But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
