Bible Verses About Minister (1)

And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

I chargetheein the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.
