First Reading
1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 27-31a
- 12
For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
- 13
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.
- 14
For the body also is not one member, but many.
- 27
Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.
- 28
And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.
- 29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
- 30
Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
- 31
But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
