Ministry Workers and Kingdom Labor Force

"Do your best and be diligent to present yourself to God as one acceptable and approved, a worker (laborer, teacher) who has no need to be ashamed [reproachable; but good, exemplary, blameless],  rightly [laying out and correctly] handling the word of truth (2Ti 2:15).  If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed (1Ti 4:6). Not that we are sufficient in ourselves (and qualified with our own ability) to claim anything as coming from us, but our (power and ability and) sufficiency is from God, who has made [called and qualified] us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not [ministers] of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Holy Spirit gives life" (2Co 3:5-6).
