1 Corinthians 12:28 whom also God Himself, indeed, placed within and in union with the called-out community. Now He first set those sent off on a mission (emissaries; envoys; representatives); second He placed folks who have light ahead of time and speak it before others publicly on behalf of God (spokesmen for God; prophets); third He set people who teach. Then after that He gave abilities and powers, adding then effects of grace which result in cures and healings. He also gave folks who take things in hand, in place of another, and grasp with their mind and apprehend the replaced situation and exchange (or: those who lay hold of the other side of something in order to aid and assist; or: occasions of receiving in turn or in exchange; or: = helpful services; supports given in turn) and provided situations and skills for steering the course (or: abilities to guide and direct action; acts of pilotage; helmsman abilities and services; wise counsel and guidance; = administrative and managerial skills). He then gave species (or: families; races; kinds) of languages (or: tongues).

[Now He] first [set] those sent off on a mission (emissaries; envoys; representatives); second [He placed] folks who have light ahead of time and speak it before others publicly [on behalf of God] (spokesmen [for God]; prophets); third [He set] people who teach.

[He also gave] folks who take [things] in hand, in place of another, and grasp with their mind and apprehend the replaced [situation] and exchange (or: those who lay hold of the other side of something in order to aid and assist; or: occasions of receiving in turn or in exchange; or: = helpful services; supports given in turn) [and provided] situations and skills for steering the course (or: abilities to guide and direct action; acts of pilotage; helmsman abilities and services; wise counsel and guidance; = administrative and managerial skills).
