24. The parts of our body that are presentable don’t need this. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the part with less honor
25. so that there won’t be division in the body and so the parts might have mutual concern for each other.
26. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it.
27. You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.
28. In the church, God has appointed first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, the ability to help others, leadership skills, different kinds of tongues.
29. All aren’t apostles, are they? All aren’t prophets, are they? All aren’t teachers, are they? All don’t perform miracles, do they?
30. All don’t have gifts of healing, do they? All don’t speak in different tongues, do they? All don’t interpret, do they?
31. Use your ambition to try to get the greater gifts. And I’m going to show you an even better way.
