Rulers
Rom. 13:3-4
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be
unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from
the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do
evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's
minister, an avenger to [execute] wrath on him who practices evil.
Christ
Rom. 15:8-9
Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision
for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] to the fathers, 9 and
that the Gentiles might glorify God for [His] mercy, as it is written: "For
this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your
name."
Phoebe
Rom. 16:1-2
I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in
Cenchrea, 2 that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the
saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed
she has been a helper of many and of myself also.
Paul \ Apollos
1 Cor. 3:5-7
Who then is Paul, and who
[is] Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord
gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the
increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters,
but God who gives the increase.
Paul
2 Cor. 3:5-6
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as [being] from
ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] from God, 6 who also made us
sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of
the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Paul
2 Cor.6:4-6
But in all [things] we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much
patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, 5 in stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by
purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by
sincere love,
Ministers of Satan
2 Cor. 11:14-15
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of
light. 15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also
transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will
be according to their works.
False Teachers
2 Cor. 11:23
Are they ministers of Christ? -- I speak as a fool -- I [am] more: in
labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently,
in deaths often.
False Belief
Gal. 2:17-19
"But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are
found sinners, [is] Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly
not! 18 "For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make
myself a transgressor. 19 "For I through the law died to the law that I
might live to God.
Paul
Eph. 3:6-7
