;
1 Cor. 12:12‑31• 12For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
 13For also in the power of one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
 14For also the body is not one member but many.
 15If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
 16And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
 17If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
 18But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased him.
 19But if all were one member, where the body?
 20But now the members are many, and the body one.
 21The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
 22But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
 23and those parts of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;
 24but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked;
 25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
 26And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with it.
 27Now *ye* are Christ's body, and members in particular.
 28And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
 29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all in possession of miraculous powers?
 30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
 31But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence. (1 Cor. 12:12‑31)
