'Ministers' in the Bible

who has also qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, which is not written but spiritual, because the written text brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

From: Paul and Timothy, servants of the Messiah Jesus. To: All the holy ones in Philippi, along with their overseers and ministers, who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.

Ministers, too, must be serious. They must not be two-faced, addicted to wine, or greedy for money.

But they must first be tested. Then, if they prove to be blameless, they may become ministers.

Ministers must be husbands of one wife and must manage their children and their families well.

Those ministers who serve well gain an excellent reputation for themselves and will have great assurance by their faith in the Messiah Jesus.
