1 Corinthians 12:15-13:13      NASB

15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 16 And if the
ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body
were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has placed the members, each
one of them, in the body, just as He desired. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now there are many members, but one
body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those members of the body which we
deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, 24 whereas our more
presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, 25 so that there
may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer
with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
 
27 Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, variouskinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets,
are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not
speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.
