He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers, with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, for ministerial work, for the building up of the body of the Christ. ” ​ — Ephesians 4: 8, 11, 12.
إِنَّ هؤُلَاءِ ‹ ٱلْعَطَايَا فِي رِجَالٍ › هُمْ نُظَّارٌ ،‏ أَوْ شُيُوخٌ ،‏ عَيَّنَهُمْ يَهْوَه وَٱبْنُهُ بِوَاسِطَةِ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ لِيَرْعَوُا ٱلْخِرَافَ بِرِقَّةٍ .‏
