(12)For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. (13)For by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. (14)For the body is not one member, but many. (15)If the foot say: Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. (16)And if the ear say: Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. (17)If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? (18)But now, God set the members each one of them in the body, as it pleased him. (19)And if they were all one member, where were the body? (20)But now there are many members, but one body. (21)And the eye can not say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. (22)Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary; (23)and those which we think to be less honorable parts of the body, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. (24)And our comely parts have no need; but God attempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that which lacked; (25)that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. (26)And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. (27)Now ye are the body of Christ, and members each one[12:27]. (28)And God set some in the church, apostles first, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governings, diversities of tongues. (29)Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? (30)Have all gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? (31)But desire earnestly the greater gifts; and moreover, I show to you a more excellent way. (1)Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. (2)And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. (3)And though I bestow all my goods in food, and though I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.
