First, To draw disciples after them, Acts 20.30.
Secondly, They have respect to their wages of unrighteousness, they love only to live in pleasure, and keep a good house, 2 Pet. 2.13. But godly Ministers labour to make Disciples for God, Mat. 28.19, 20. they make not disciples for themselves; for what is Paul? or what is Apollos?
