One class of ministrations in the early church, antileepsiees (1 Corinthians 12:28). A lower department, as "governments" are a higher; for instance, deacons who helped in relieving the poor, baptizing and preaching, subordinate to higher ministers (Acts 6:1-10; Acts 8:5-17); others helped with their time and means in the Lord's cause (1 Corinthians 13:3; Numbers 11:17). Americans similarly use "helps" for "helpers." In Romans 12:8 "he that giveth" answers to "helps," "he that ruleth" to "governments," as bishops or presbyters (1 Timothy 5:17; Hebrews 13:17; Hebrews 13:24).
