Brothers, consider your calling: Not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets?
Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?

It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Do all have gifts of healing?
Do all speak in other languages?
Do all interpret?

If I have the gift of prophecy
and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith
so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.

But if all are prophesying and some unbeliever or uninformed person comes in, he is convicted by all and is judged by all.

To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.
