“Paul's frequent use of the word 'stewardship' or 'household', 'ministry,' 'minister,''servant,' 'one serving the Gospel,' etc. emphasizes that it is not the estate, or order, or any authority or dignity that he wants to uphold, but only the office and the function. The authority and dignity of the priesthood resided in the community of believers.” Concerning the Ministry, LW, AE, 40:35
