Verse 30
- Firm mind. Other scriptures talk about being submissive and yielding. How can one have a "firm mind" and yet be submissive and yielding? What is the difference between a firm mind and a stubborn mind?

Verses 30-31
The pronouns in these verses can be a bit confusing. This reading seems to make the most sense:
- 30 For behold, they [the angels] are subject unto him [Christ], to minister according to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them [the children of men] of strong faith and a firm mind in every form of godliness.
- 31 And the office of their [the angels'] ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he [the Father] hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that they [the chosen vessels] may bear testimony of him [the Lord].
