Matthew 13:31-33
31
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
2 Corinthians 3:7-11
7
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Hebrews 3:2-6
2
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
