1 Corinthians 12:27

Unity In The Midst Of Diversity

²⁶ If one part suffers, all the parts share its sufferings. If a part has honor done it, all the parts enjoy it too. ²⁷ Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it. ²⁸ And God has placed people in the church, first as apostles, second as inspired preachers, third as teachers, then wonder-workers; then come ability to cure the sick, helpfulness, administration, ecstatic speaking.
