Bible. Corinthians, 1st
46:012:018 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the
body, as it hath pleased him.
46:012:019 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
46:012:020 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
46:012:021 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
46:012:022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be
more feeble, are necessary:
46:012:023 And those members of the body, which we think to be less
honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our
uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
46:012:024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the
body together, having given more abundant honour to that part
which lacked.
46:012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the
members should have the same care one for another.
46:012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
46:012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
46:012:028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of
tongues.
46:012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
workers of miracles?
46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
all interpret?
46:012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a
more excellent way.
46:013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have
not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.
46:013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so
that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am
nothing.
46:013:003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though
I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it
profiteth me nothing.
46:013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
46:013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
46:013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
46:013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
endureth all things.
46:013:008 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they
shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
46:013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
