26. If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, then all the other parts share its honor.
27. All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body.
28. And 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 lead, 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.
