11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

11 And Christ gave gifts to people—he made some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to go and tell the Good News, and some to have the work of caring for and teaching God’s people.

11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

11 and he has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,

11 He also gave apostles, prophets, missionaries, as well as pastors and teachers as gifts ⸤to his church⸥.

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

11 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

11 And he himself gave some as apostles and some as prophets and some as evangelists and some as pastors and teachers

11 He is the One who gave some the gift to be apostles. He gave some the gift to be prophets. He gave some the gift of preaching the good news. And he gave some the gift to be pastors and teachers.

11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.

12 Christ gave those gifts to prepare God’s holy people for the work of serving, to make the body of Christ stronger.

12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:

12 for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to the work of the ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ;

12 Their purpose is to prepare God’s people to serve and to build up the body of Christ.

12 for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

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

12 He did it so that they might prepare God’s people to serve. If they do, the body of Christ will be built up.

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;
