And God has placed some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that works of power, then gifts of healing, helps, governings, tongues of nationalities.

Not everyone is an apostle are they? Not everyone is a prophet? Not everyone is a teacher? Not everyone is a worker of power?

But having different gifts according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with simplicity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,

yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through Him.

Nor be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

The Word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all);

For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living.

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
