Nourished in Good Teachings

1Tim 4:6   If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

Now you would think he would say "nourishing" - active voice. But instead he says "nourished" - passive voice. A good minister is not simply one who nourishes others, but rather one who is also himself nourished in the words of faith and of good doctrine. Before you nourish others, you must allow yourselves to be nourished and to carefully follow the words of faith and of good doctrine. Then you will be prepared for effective ministry.
