In Ephesians 4:1:16, Paul discusses both the nature of the Church - that we share a fundamental unity in Christ - and the purpose of the Church. That purpose takes the shape of seven different works of the church. We also consider what those seven works of the church mean for each of us as we use our gifts to build up and bless the Body of Christ.

在以弗所書 4 章 1 至 16 節中，保羅討論了教會的本質－我們在基督裡共享基本的合一－以及教會的目的。這個目的在教會中分別透過七項不同的工作來完成。 當我們使用個人的恩賜來建立和祝福基督的身體時，同時也思想教會的這七項工作對每個人有什麼意義。
