1 Corinthians 12:31
NASB
1 Cor 12:13
&
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Cor 12:14
&
For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Cor 12:15
&
If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not {a part} of the body," it is not for this reason any the less {a part} of the body.
1 Cor 12:16
&
And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not {a part} of the body," it is not for this reason any the less {a part} of the body.
1 Cor 12:17
&
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
1 Cor 12:18
&
But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
1 Cor 12:19
&
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
1 Cor 12:20
&
But now there are many members, but one body.
1 Cor 12:21
&
And 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."
1 Cor 12:22
&
On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
1 Cor 12:23
&
and those {members} of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
1 Cor 12:24
&
whereas 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,
1 Cor 12:25
&
so that there may be no division in the body, but {that} the members may have the same care for one another.
1 Cor 12:26
&
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if {one} member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Cor 12:27
&
Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.
1 Cor 12:28
&
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, {various} kinds of tongues.
1 Cor 12:29
&
All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not {workers of} miracles, are they?
1 Cor 12:30
&
All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?
1 Cor 12:31
&
But earnestly desire the greater gifts.
And I show you a still more excellent way.
And I show you a still more excellent way.
