New Testament

1 Corinthians 12:18-28 English Revised Version (ERV)

18. But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

19. And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20. But now they are many members, but one body.

21. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22. Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

23. and those parts 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;

24. whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked;

25. that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26. And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.
