Verse
1 Corinthians - ch 12 v 21 - 31
- The 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.
- But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
- and 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;
- but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked;
- that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
- And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with it.
- Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
- And 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.
- Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all in possession of miraculous powers?
- have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
- But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
