1 Corinthians 12:12 — 1 Corinthians 12:31
12 1For even as the body is aone and has many bmembers, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is 2the Christ.
13 For also in 1aone Spirit we were all bbaptized into 2cone Body, whether 3dJews or Greeks, whether 4slaves or free, and were all given to 5edrink one fSpirit.
14 For the body is not one member but amany.
15 If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, it is not that because of this it is not of the body.
16 And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, it is not that because of this it is not of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were the hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 But now God has aplaced the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He bwilled.
19 And if all were one member, where would the body be?
20 But now the members are many, but the body aone.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 But much rather the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 And those members of the body which we consider to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor; and our uncomely members come to have more abundant comeliness,
24 But our comely members have no need. But God has 1blended the body together, giving more abundant honor to the member that lacked,
25 That there would be no adivision in the body, but that the members would have the 1same care for one another.
26 And whether one member asuffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is glorified, all the members brejoice with it.
27 Now you are the Body of Christ, and amembers individually.
28 And God has aplaced some in the 1bchurch: first 2capostles, second 3dprophets, third 4eteachers; then 5fworks of power, then 6gifts of ghealing, 7helps, 8hadministrations, various kinds of 9itongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all have works of power?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all 1speak in tongues? 2Do all 1ainterpret tongues?
31 But 1earnestly adesire the 2bgreater gifts. And moreover I show to you a 3most excellent way.
