46:012:020 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

46:012:021 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: 
           nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

46:012:022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be
           more feeble, are necessary: 

46:012:023 And those members of the body, which we think to be less
           honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our
           uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

46:012:024 For our comely parts have no need:  but God hath tempered the
           body together, having given more abundant honour to that part
           which lacked.

46:012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the
           members should have the same care one for another.

46:012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
           or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

46:012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

46:012:028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
           secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
           then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of
           tongues.

46:012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
           workers of miracles?

46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
           all interpret?

46:012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts:  and yet shew I unto you a
           more excellent way.

46:013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have
           not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
           cymbal.

46:013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
           mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so
           that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am
           nothing.

46:013:003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though
           I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it
           profiteth me nothing.

46:013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
           charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

46:013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
           easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

46:013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

46:013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
           endureth all things.

46:013:008 Charity never faileth:  but whether there be prophecies, they
           shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
           whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
