25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

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

28 And 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.

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