Aaron's Blessing

²² The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²³ “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus ^(A)you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,

^27 (F)“So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”

One Body with Many Members

¹² For just as ^(A)the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, ^(B)so it is with Christ. ¹³ For ^(C)in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—^(D)Jews or Greeks, slaves^[a] or free—and ^(E)all were made to drink of one Spirit.

²⁶ If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, ^(A)all rejoice together.

²⁷ Now ^(B)you are the body of Christ and individually ^(C)members of it. ²⁸ And ^(D)God has appointed in the church first ^(E)apostles, second ^(F)prophets, third teachers, then ^(G)miracles, then ^(H)gifts of healing, ^(I)helping, ^(J)administrating, and ^(K)various kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? ³⁰ Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ But ^(L)earnestly desire the higher gifts.

And I will show you a still more excellent way.
