1 Corinthians 12:27-31

One Spirit, Many Gifts, and One Body in Christ

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
