1 Corinthians 12 📜 📕 ↷
Body of Christ
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body whereas they be many, yet are one body; so also Christ.📜💬📚
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one, whether Jews, or Gentiles, or bondmen, or free: & in one Spirit we were all made to drink.📜💬📚
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.📜💬📚
15 If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body?📜💬📚
16 And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is he therefore not of the body?📜💬📚
17 If the whole body were the eye: where is the hearing? If the whole were the hearing: where is the smelling?📜💬📚
18 But now God hath set the members, every one of them in the body as he would.📜💬📚
19 And if all were one member, where were the body?📜💬📚
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.📜💬📚
21 And the eye can not say to the hand: I need not thy help; or again the head to the feet: You are not necessary for me.📜💬📚
22 But much more those that seem to be the more weak members of the body, are more necessary:📜💬📚
23 and such as we think to be the baser members of the body, upon them we put more aboundant honour: and those that are our unhonest parts, have more aboundant honesty.📜💬📚
24 And our honest parts need nothing: but God hath tempered the body, giving to it that wanted, the more aboundant honour,📜💬📚
25 that there might be no schism in the body, but the members together might be careful one for another.📜💬📚
26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it. Or if one member do glory, all the members rejoice with it.📜💬📚
Greater Gifts
27 And you are the body of Christ, and members of member.📜💬📚
28 And some verily God hath set in the Church first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly Doctors, next miracles, then the graces of doing cures, helps, governments, kinds of tongues.📜💬📚
