In chapter 4 verse 2 Paul tells us that Christ's stewards must be faithful which the footnote says means "Trustworthy", in this context. So we are to be faithful to his command and be examples as followers of Christ.
Paul is speaking of the Apostles in verses 9-17. These verses could be applied to anyone that has been baptized and taken on Christ's name. All of the things discussed in these verses are characteristics of true followers of Christ. It's not enough to just know what is right because if you know what the Lords wants you to be doing and you don't live up to those standards your example can lead those that don't know the truth to not see the benefit of living the Gospel and leads to them estranging themselves further from the Lord. When we are clean from iniquity and living for God miracles can happen in our lives.
