Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; |
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, |
just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word (i.e., gospel) have handed them down to us, |
|
just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. |
Exactly as they were handed down to us by those who from the [official] beginning [of Jesus’ ministry] were eyewitnesses and ministers of the Word [that is, of the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God], |
even as they delivered them to us for safekeeping, those who from the beginning were personal witnesses of and ministered the Word, |
|
basing their work on the evidence of those who, we know, were eye-witnesses as well as teachers of the message. |
just as the original eyewitnesses who became ministers of the message. |
