1 Corinthians 12:18-28
-
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
-
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
-
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
-
21 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.
-
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
-
23 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.
-
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
-
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
-
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
-
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
-
28 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.
