One Body, Many Parts

1 Corinthians 12: 13-31

The body is a unit made up of many parts that form ONE body. So it is with Christ. We were all baptized by ONE Spirit into ONE body.
The body is not made of one part but of many. In fact, God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.
One pray can not say to the other, "I don't need you." God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but it's parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, ever part suffers with it. If one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. We are the body of Christ - each of us is a part of it.
In the church, God appointed:
1. Apostles
2. Prophets
3. Teachers
4. Workers of miracles.
5. Those having gifts of healing.
6. Those able to help others.
7. Those with gifts of administration.
8. Those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
Not all of us have every gift but eagerly desire greater gifts.
