Helpers in Christ
When it comes to die, the best title you could ever be given is a helper in Christ. And when Apollos was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace. Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus. Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. Therefore said Jesus unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.
