1 Corinthians 12:24-31

24However, our presentable parts don’t need this kind of treatment. God has put the body together and given special honor to the part that doesn’t have it.

25God’s purpose was that the body should not be divided but rather that all of its parts should feel the same concern for each other.

26If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts share its suffering. If one part is praised, all the others share in its happiness.

27You are Christ’s body and each of you is an individual part of it.

28In the church God has appointed first apostles, next prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, then those who have the gift of healing, then those who help others, those who are managers, and those who can speak in a number of languages.

29Not all believers are apostles, are they? Are all of them prophets? Do all of them teach? Do all of them perform miracles

30or have gifts of healing? Can all of them speak in other languages or interpret languages?

31You ⌞only⌟ want the better gifts, but I will show you the best thing to do.
