1 Corinthians 12:24-31

24whereas 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, 25so that there may be no 1division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is 2honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now you are 3Christ’s body, and 4individually members of it. 28And God has 56appointed in 7the church, first 8apostles, second 9prophets, third 10teachers, then 1112miracles, then 13gifts of healings, helps, 14administrations, various 15kinds of tongues. 29All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of 16miracles, are they? 30All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not 17interpret, do they? 31But 18earnestly desire the greater gifts.

And I show you a still more excellent way.
