20. But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: 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 uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered 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 thus if one member suffers all the members suffer with it; or, if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.
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 in languages? do all interpret?
31. But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.
