1 Corinthians 12:24-31

24but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

25so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

26If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

27Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it.

28And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues.

29Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?

30Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?

31But you should be eager for the greater gifts. And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.
