⁴ For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office; ⁵ so we, the many, are one body under Christ, and individually members of one another. ⁶ Having, then, gifts, differing according to the favor which is given to us-if prophecy act according to the measure of faith- ⁷ if a ministerial office, in that office-if one is a teacher, in teaching- ⁸ and the exhorter, in exhortation. Let him who distributes act with disinterestedness-him that presides, with assiduity-him that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁵ For who is Paul, and who is Apollos; but ministers, by whom you have believed, even as the Lord has given to each? ⁶ I have planted, Apollos has watered; but God has made to grow. ⁷ So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God, who makes to grow. ⁸ However, the planter and the waterer are one, and each shall receive his proper reward, according to his proper labor. ⁹ Wherefore, we are joint laborers, employed by God.

⁴ Now, there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who works all in all. ⁷ And to each is given this manifestation of the Spirit, for the advantage of all. ⁸ For to one, indeed, is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit. ⁹ And to another, faith, by the same Spirit: and to another, healing, by the same Spirit: ¹⁰ and to another, the operations of powers: and to another, prophecy: and to another, diverse kinds of foreign tongues: and to another, the interpretation of foreign tongues. ¹¹ Now, all these does the one and the same Spirit effectively work; distributing to each, respectively, as he pleases. ¹² For, as the body is one, although it have many members; and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. ¹³ For, indeed, by one Spirit, we all have been immersed into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and all have been made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ Since, then, the body is not one member, but many; ¹⁵ if the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, for this, not of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it, for this, not of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But, now, God has placed the members, every one of them, in the body, as he has pleased. ¹⁹ Besides, if all were one member, where were the body? ²⁰ But now, indeed, there are many members, but one body. ²¹ Therefore, the eye can not say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² Nay, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble, are necessary. ²³ And those which we think are less honorable members of the body, around them we throw more abundant honor; and so our uncomely members have more abundant comeliness. ²⁴ But, our comely members have no need. However, God has tempered the body together; having given to the member which wants it, more abundant honor. ²⁵ That there may be no schism in the body; but, that the members may have the very same anxious care, one for another. ²⁶ So, whether one member suffer, all the members sympathize; or, one member be honored, all the members rejoice together. ²⁷ Now, you are Christ's body, and members in particular. ²⁸ And these, indeed, God has placed in the congregation: first, Apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; next, powers; then, gifts of healing; helpers, directors, kinds of foreign languages. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? have all powers? ³⁰ have all the gift of healing? do all speak in foreign languages? do all interpret? ³¹ Now, ardently desire the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.
