Q.159. How should those who are called preach the word of God?

A. Those who are called to labor in the ministry of the word should preach sound doctrine,[1] accurately,[2] in season and out of season,[3] clearly,[4] and not with seductive words of human wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power.[5] They should faithfully[6] and fully express the whole counsel of God;[7] this should be done wisely,[8] taking into account the needs and capabilities of the audience.[9] Their preaching should be motivated by a zealous[10] and fervent love for God[11] and the souls of his people.[12] Finally, it should be done sincerely,[13] aiming to glorify God[14] and to convert,[15] edify,[16] and save[17] his people.
