1Corinthians:12:12-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For as the body is (
5748 )
one ,
and hath (
5719 )
many members ,
and all the members of that one body ,
being (
5752 )
many ,
are (
5748 )
one body :
so also is Christ .
*
For by one Spirit are we all baptized (
5681 )
into one body ,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles ,
whether we be bond or free ;
and have been all made to drink (
5681 )
into one Spirit .
*
For the body is (
5748 )
not one member ,
but many .
*
If the foot shall say (
5632 ),
Because I am (
5748 )
not the hand ,
I am (
5748 )
not of the body ;
is (
5748 )
it therefore not of the body ?
*
And if the ear shall say (
5632 ),
Because I am (
5748 )
not the eye ,
I am (
5748 )
not of the body ;
is (
5748 )
it therefore not of the body ?
*
If the whole body were an eye ,
where were the hearing ?
If the whole were hearing ,
where were the smelling ?
*
But now hath God set (
5639 )
the members every one of them in the body ,
as it hath pleased him (
5656 ).
*
And if they were (
5713 )
all one member ,
where were the body ?
*
But now are they many members ,
yet but one body .
*
And the eye cannot (
5736 )
say (
5629 )
unto the hand ,
I have (
5719 )
no need of thee :
nor again the head to the feet ,
I have (
5719 )
no need of you .
*
Nay ,
much more those members of the body ,
which seem (
5723 )
to be (
5721 )
more feeble ,
are (
5748 )
necessary :
*
And those members of the body ,
which we think (
5719 )
to be (
5750 )
less honourable ,
upon these we bestow (
5719 )
more abundant honour ;
and our uncomely parts have (
5719 )
more abundant comeliness .
*
For our comely parts have (
5719 )
no need :
but God hath tempered the body together (
5656 ),
having given (
5631 )
more abundant honour to that part which lacked (
5746 ):
*
That there should be (
5753 )
no schism in the body ;
but that the members should have the same care (
5725 )
one for another .
*
And whether one member suffer (
5719 ),
all the members suffer with it (
5719 );
or one member be honoured (
5743 ),
all the members rejoice with it (
5719 ).
*
Now ye are (
5748 )
the body of Christ ,
and members in particular .
*
And God hath set (
5639 )
some in the church ,
first apostles ,
secondarily prophets ,
thirdly teachers ,
after that miracles ,
then gifts of healings ,
helps ,
governments ,
diversities of tongues .
*
Are all apostles ?
are all prophets ?
are all teachers ?
are all workers of miracles ?
*
Have (
5719 )
all the gifts of healing ?
do all speak (
5719 )
with tongues ?
do all interpret (
5719 )?
*
But covet earnestly (
5720 )
the best gifts :
and yet shew I (
5719 )
unto you a more excellent way .
