Ephesians 4:11-12

11It was Christ who chose to give different gifts to his people. He chose some to be apostles. He chose some to speak messages from God. He chose some to tell God's good news to many people. He chose some to take care of his people, and to teach them.

12He gave all these gifts to help God's people to serve him in different ways. As a result, the church, which is like Christ's body, would become strong.
