錯誤翻譯的巴文克的話作為真理，漏風不斷，忙不停滴堵漏，狼狽不堪，與污隊友狼狽為奸，污得不行。反觀Philipps這種改革宗正統的主人牧師，藉着保羅的教導提醒人們，傳道人的使命乃是作聖經真理的教師。

Elders must be characterized by a firm hold on the trustworthy and sound teaching of Scripture. This soundness comes from the faithful teaching they receive, ideally through the exposition of Bible texts by ministers who are called and equipped to preach. We are living in a time when church attenders often prefer an impressionistic approach to teaching. Instead of the didactic proclaiming of the Bible’s message, they prefer moving stories and explorations of the pastor’s feelings. Since some believe that such an approach is more likely to fill the pews, too many preachers abandon or neglect their primary calling as teachers of biblical truth. Paul urges Titus, “But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine” (Titus 2:1). In 2 Timothy 4:1–2, Paul urged his other protégé, Timothy: “I charge you in the presence of God …: preach the word.”

長老的特點必須是牢牢抓住聖經中值得信賴和健全的教導。這種健全性來自於他們所接受的忠實的教導，最好是通過被呼召並有能力傳道的牧師對聖經經文的解釋。我們生活在一個教會參加者往往更喜歡印象派教學方法的時代。他們不喜歡說教式地宣講聖經的信息，而是更喜歡感人的故事和對牧師感受的探索。由於有些人認為這種方法更有可能填滿座位，因此太多的傳道人放棄或忽視了他們作為聖經真理教師的主要使命。保羅勸告提多，“但你所講（laleō）的，總要合乎那純正的（hygiainō）道理（didaskalia，教義）”（多 2:1）。在提摩太后書 4:1-2 中，保羅勸告他的另一位門徒提摩太：“我在神面前、、、囑咐你……務要傳（kēryssō）道（logos）。”
