24. The more respectable parts of our body need no special care. But God put the body together and gave more honor to the parts that need it
25. so our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other.
26. If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, all the other parts share its honor.
27. Together you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of that body.
28. In the church God has given a place first to apostles, second to prophets, and third to teachers. Then God has given a place to those who do miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who can help others, those who are able to govern, and those who can speak in different languages.
29. Not all are apostles. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all do miracles.
30. Not all have gifts of healing. Not all speak in different languages. Not all interpret those languages.
31. But you should truly want to have the greater gifts.And now I will show you the best way of all.
