9. It is the same Spirit, the same Lord, the same God which imparts, ordains, inspires, possesses.
10. The word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, faith, gifts of healing, inspiration and genius, prophecy, spiritual insight and discernment, tongues and the interpretation of tongues —
11. these all proceed in varying degrees displayed by different individuals from the one infinite Spirit. He, that Spirit, is all in all, and one, and all these gifts are constituted in His action and operation.
12. The Christ is as it were one infinite body, wherein all the parts and members are mutually helpful and interdependent.
13. In the unity of the same organism there cannot be inharmonious contradictory parts.
17. If the body were all eye, where would the hearing be? If it were all ear, where would the eyebrow be?
22. but on the contrary those very parts which are held in least honour often have the most important functions,
26. If one member suffer, all suffer with it, and no one part of the body can be affected, for good or ill, without all the others feeling it.
27. So is it in that infinite spiritual body of the Christ, which we together constitute, of which we are all members.
28. Whether in the church there be those that are called apostles, prophets, teachers, healers, helpers, officers, speakers with tongues — what is this but the activity of one life?
29. Because it is one thing, all are not therefore apostles, nor all prophets, nor all teachers,
30. nor all healers, nor all speakers with tongues, nor all interpreters.
