This is one of those passages that is hotly debated, at least in the United States. Are the leaders there to do the work of the ministry or to perfect the saints so those people do the work of the ministry?
It strikes me that the apostles, prophets, etc. ARE the saints.
We all need the work of the Gospel day by day preparing us for the work of the ministry. Every last one of us gets to minister in our various vocations as our Lord equips and sustains us.
