1 Corinthians 12:24-31

24whereasG1161 our moreG2158 presentableG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of it. But GodG2316 has so composedG4786 the bodyG4983, givingG1325 moreG4053 abundantG4053 honorG5092 to that part which lackedG5302, 25soG2443 thatG2443 there may be noG3361 1divisionG4978 in the bodyG4983, but that the partsG3196 may haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 for oneG240 anotherG240. 26And ifG1535 oneG1520 partG3196 of the body suffersG3958, allG3956 the partsG3196 sufferG4841 with it; ifG1535 a partG3196 is 2honoredG1392, allG3956 the partsG3196 rejoiceG4796 withG4796 it.

27NowG1161 you are 3Christ’sG5547 bodyG4983, and 4individuallyG3313 partsG3196 of it. 28And GodG2316 has 56appointedG5087 in 7the churchG1577, firstG4413 8apostlesG652, secondG1208 9prophetsG4396, thirdG5154 10teachersG1320, thenG1899 1112miraclesG1411, thenG1899 13giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, 14administrationsG2941, and various 15kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100. 29AllG3956 are not apostlesG652, are they? AllG3956 are not prophetsG4396, are they? AllG3956 are not teachersG1320, are they? AllG3956 are not workers of 16miraclesG1411, are they? 30AllG3956 do not haveG2192 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, do they? AllG3956 do not speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, do they? AllG3956 do not 17interpretG1329, do they? 31But 18earnestlyG2206 desireG2206 the greaterG3173 giftsG5486.

And yetG2089, I am going to showG1166 you a farG5236 betterG5236 wayG3598.
