職分的解釋,NIV Study Bible是這樣說的:Because of the Greek grammatical construction, it is clear that these groups of gifted people are closely related. Those who have pastoral care for God's people (the image is that of shepherding) will naturally provide food from the Scriptures(teaching). They will be especially gifted as teachers.
至於“如果你不是一個按立過的牧者,你怎麼能把你的事工叫做基督身體的一份呢”,這個貌似是羅七哥哥翻譯有誤。應該是“如果你不是一個按立過的牧者,那麼你是怎樣蒙召成為基督的身體之一部分來服事的呢?”
這段取自於我正在看的一本書,裡面有許多充滿挑戰性的觀點,I mean,對我的既有的神學觀念的挑戰,比如,請大家幫忙翻譯的這段,上下文的觀點是,“一名信徒的恩賜在服事教會之前,需要長老按手禱告加以釋放,因為長老已被證實在驗證和發掘屬靈恩賜方面有權柄。”
我自己對這個觀點持保留態度,但不妨礙我繼續讀,繼續have fun :)
