Here the word "us" refers to the 12 apostles and not to their hearers, so it is exclusive. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])

# the ministry of the word

It may be helpful to add more information. Alternate translation: "the ministry of teaching and preaching the message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
