I have a question on a document entitled: The Unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:1-6) - http://bible.org/article/unity-spirit-ephesians-41-6

I am a ministry leader and not a scholar by any means. I don't understand a sentence at the beginning of one of the paragraphs in the section: "Equipping--A Pastoral Task."

The sentence is: "Joints of supply." The word comes from apto, "o touch."

I was hoping someone could help me understand what this is saying, I think it might be a typo, but I really am that ignorant if not.

I like the article and have been able to understand the rest of it. I am doing a study in Ephesians for a group and I want to use some of this material, but I also want to be sure I understand it completely.

Thank you for all your help. (this isn't a pressing matter...)

It's a typo.

Should be "to touch".

OK, that's what I thought, at least that's what sounded to be the best idea.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

God bless!

I've fixed the typo :) thanks for the heads up - you can also use "report a problem" at the bottom of the page in which the article resides to report these types of issuea :)
