1 Corinthians 12:28

First apostles — Who plant the gospel in the heathen nations. Secondly prophets — Who either foretel things to come, or speak by extra — ordinary inspiration, for the edification of the church. Thirdly teachers — Who precede even those that work miracles. Under prophets and teachers are comprised evangelists and pastors, Ephesians 4:11. Helps, governments — It does not appear that these mean distinct offices: rather, any persons might be called helps, from a peculiar dexterity in helping the distressed; and governments, from a peculiar talent for governing or presiding in assemblies.
