18. But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
19. And if they were all one member, where would be the body?
20. But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23. And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our less respectable parts have greater respect.
24. For our more respectable parts have no need: but God has arranged the body together, having given more abundant honor 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 suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27. Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28. And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, administrators, various kinds of tongues.
29. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30. Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
