So when you are baptized and are filled with the Holy Spirit,

Jesus,

out of his all-powerful sovereignty over all things

imparts his spirit into you

and you are given new DNA.

Jesus makes some people

Apostles,

Prophets,

Evangelists,

Pastors,

and Teachers.

These types of people

are the gift,

and their role in the body

is to perform functions.

And the purpose of these functions

is to make the whole body stronger

and help the body mature

so that we can all attain the full stature

of the mature Jesus.
