Eph 4:11-12



I am surprised that in discussing this passage no one has mentioned or
interacted with the interesting article on this very matter by David
Gordon in the March 1994 edition of JETS (37:1).  I think it rather
forcefully challenges the au courant view.  katartismos does not mean "equip"
here, the three purpose clauses are parallel not sequential, and diakonia 
here does not mean "ministry."  I'd be interested in how people react
to this article.
