But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all ekklesias. |
But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the ekklesias. |
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And thus I direct in all the ekklesias. |
|
Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the ekklesias. |
Only, let each one [seek to conduct himself and regulate his affairs so as to] lead the life which the Lord has allotted and imparted to him and to which God has invited and summoned him. This is my order in all the ekklesias. |
Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one his lot [in life], as God has called each one, in that way let him be ordering his manner of life. And so in all the assemblies I am giving orders. |
|
I merely add to the above that each man should live his life with the gifts that the Lord has given him and in the condition in which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the ekklesias. |
Only, everybody must continue to live in the station which the Lord assigned to him, in that in which God called him. These are my orders in all the ekklesias. |
But 1508 as 5613 God 2316 hath distributed 3307 to every man, 1538 as 5613 the 3588 Lord 2962 hath called 2564 every one, 1538 so 3779 let him walk. 4043 And 2532 so 3779 ordain 1299 I in 1722 all 3956 ekklesias. 1577 |

- Ekklesia - A Word Study - Neil Girrard Reading the Scriptures with the word “church” in them has done centuries of damage to the body of Christ. A simple reading of these Scriptures with the Greek word “ekklesia” re-inserted can be a real eye-opener.
- Misusing Wealth; Lords of Darkness - Neil Girrard Man’s fallen nature gives him a virtually unshakable allegiance to social standards that are based, not on a divine perspective nor even on valuing honest work, but on the belief that real achievement consists in imitating and emulating the wealthy leisure class.
- Ordination - Neil Girrard Ordination, the raising up of new leaders, is a highly vaunted practice in the “church.” But is it Scriptural? What do the Scriptures really say about “ordaining someone to the ministry”?
