Bible Verses About Minister (1)

The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

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

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Messiah Yeshua.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I command you therefore before God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

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

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

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

But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
