All Parts of One Body
1 Corinthians Chapter 12
|
|
12:14
|
For the body is not one member, but many.
|
|
|
|
|
12:15
|
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
|
|
|
|
|
12:16
|
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
|
|
|
|
|
12:17
|
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
|
|
|
|
|
12:18
|
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
|
|
|
|
|
12:19
|
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
|
|
|
|
|
12:20
|
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
|
|
|
|
|
12:21
|
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
|
|
|
|
|
12:22
|
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
|
|
|
|
|
12:23
|
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
|
|
|
|
|
12:24
|
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
|
|
|
|
|
12:25
|
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
|
|
|
|
|
12:26
|
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
|
|
|
|
|
12:27
|
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
|
|
|
|
|
12:28
|
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
|
|
|
|
|
12:29
|
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
|
|
|
|
|
12:30
|
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
|
|
|
|
|
12:31
|
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
|
