23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,
24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,
25 that there should be no1 schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ayou are the body of Christ, and bmembers individually.
28 And aGod has appointed these in the church: first bapostles, second cprophets, third teachers, after that dmiracles, then egifts of healings, fhelps, gadministrations, varieties of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But aearnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
