It is important to remember, though, that just because a man is disqualified from serving as an elder/deacon/pastor, he is still a valuable member of the body of Christ. Every Christian possesses spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) and is called to participate in edifying other believers with those gifts (1 Corinthians 12:7).
Ni muhimu kukumbuka kuwa, kwa sababu mtu hafai kuwahudumia kama mzee / shemasi / mchungaji, yeye bado ni mwanachama wa thamani katika mwili wa Kristo. Kila Mkristo ana karama ya kiroho (1 Wakorintho 12:4-7) na inaitwa kushiriki katika kiwajenga waumini wengine kwa karama hizo (1 Wakorintho 12:07).
