22 But much more, the members of the body seeming to be weaker are essential, 23 and those of the body we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor. And our unseemly parts have more abundant decorum, 24 but our seemly parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given more abundant honor to the parts lacking it, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have the same concern for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you⁺ are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And some indeed God placed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helping, administrating, various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But zealously desire the greater gifts. And now I show to you⁺ a more surpassing way. 1 Corinthians 12:22-31, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
