lont - 1Corinthians:12:12-31

lont@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For, as the body is one, although it have many members; and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

lont@1Corinthians:12:13 @ For, indeed, by one Spirit, we all have been immersed into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and all have been made to drink of one Spirit.

lont@1Corinthians:12:14 @ Since, then, the body is not one member, but many;

lont@1Corinthians:12:15 @ if the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, for this, not of the body?

lont@1Corinthians:12:16 @ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it, for this, not of the body?

lont@1Corinthians:12:17 @ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

lont@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But, now, God has placed the members, every one of them, in the body, as he has pleased.

lont@1Corinthians:12:19 @ Besides, if all were one member, where were the body?

lont@1Corinthians:12:20 @ But now, indeed, there are many members, but one body.

lont@1Corinthians:12:21 @ Therefore, the eye can not say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

lont@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Nay, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble, are necessary.

lont@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And those which we think are less honorable members of the body, around them we throw more abundant honor; and so our uncomely members have more abundant comeliness.

lont@1Corinthians:12:24 @ But, our comely members have no need. However, God has tempered the body together; having given to the member which wants it, more abundant honor.

lont@1Corinthians:12:25 @ That there may be no schism in the body; but, that the members may have the very same anxious care, one for another.

lont@1Corinthians:12:26 @ So, whether one member suffer, all the members sympathize; or, one member be honored, all the members rejoice together.

lont@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now, you are Christ's body, and members in particular.

lont@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And these, indeed, God has placed in the congregation: first, Apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; next, powers; then, gifts of healing; helpers, directors, kinds of foreign languages.

lont@1Corinthians:12:29 @ Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all powers?

lont@1Corinthians:12:30 @ have all the gift of healing? do all speak in foreign languages? do all interpret?

lont@1Corinthians:12:31 @ Now, ardently desire the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.
