New Testament

1 Corinthians 12:23-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. The parts of the body that we think are less honorable are the ones we honor the most. The private parts of our body that aren’t presentable are the ones that are given the most dignity.

24. The parts of our body that are presentable don’t need this. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the part with less honor

25. so that there won’t be division in the body and so the parts might have mutual concern for each other.

26. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it.

27. You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.

28. In the church, God has appointed first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, the ability to help others, leadership skills, different kinds of tongues.
