"And the same one granted that some would be Apostles, and some Prophets, yet truly others evangelists, and others pastors and teachers, "
— Ephesians 4:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;”
“And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ”
“He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;”
“And he himself gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,”
“And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors:”
“And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;”
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;”
Because of this, he says: “Ascending on high, he took captivity itself captive; he gave gifts to men.”
Now that he has ascended, what is left except for him also to descend, first to the lower parts of the earth?
He who descended is the same one who also ascended above all the heavens, so that he might fulfill everything.
And the same one granted that some would be Apostles, and some Prophets, yet truly others evangelists, and others pastors and teachers,
for the sake of the perfection of the saints, by the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ,
until we all meet in the unity of faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as a perfect man, in the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ.
So may we then no longer be little children, disturbed and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, and by the craftiness which deceives unto error.
