1 Corinthians 12:4-30

4Now there are 1varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6There are varieties of effects, but the same 2God who works all things in all persons. 7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit 3for the common good. 8For to one is given the word of 4wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of 5knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another 6faith 7by the same Spirit, and to another 8gifts of 9healing 10by the one Spirit, 10and to another the 11effecting of 1213miracles, and to another 14prophecy, and to another the 1516distinguishing of spirits, to another various 17kinds of tongues, and to another the 18interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, 19distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

12For even 20as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, 21so also is Christ. 13For 2223by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether 24Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to 25drink of one Spirit.

14For 26the body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason 27any the less a part of the body. 16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason 28any the less a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18But now God has 29placed the members, each one of them, in the body, 30just as He desired. 19If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20But now 31there are many members, but one body. 21And 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.” 22On the contrary, 32it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23and those members of the body which we 33deem less honorable, 34on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, 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 35division 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 36honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now you are 37Christ’s body, and 38individually members of it. 28And God has 3940appointed in 41the church, first 42apostles, second 43prophets, third 44teachers, then 4546miracles, then 47gifts of healings, helps, 48administrations, various 49kinds 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 50miracles, are they? 30All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not 51interpret, do they?
