One Body Many Parts!
"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13For
in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or
Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 19And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20But now they are many members, but one body. 21And 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. 22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: 23and
those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon
these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more
abundant comeliness; 24whereas our
comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving
more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked; 25that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 26And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. 28And
God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets,
thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, i kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles? 30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you." 1cor12:12-31
