1 Corinthians 12
12
For even aas the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, bso also is Christ.
13
For aby one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether bJews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to cdrink of one Spirit.
15
If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
16
And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
19
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
22
On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23
and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
24
whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
25
so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
28
And God has aappointed in bthe church, first capostles, second dprophets, third eteachers, then fmiracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
29
All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?
30
All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not ainterpret, do they?

26
