1 Corinthians 12:27-31
Lexham English Bible

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of it individually[a], 28 and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues. 29 Not all are apostles, are they?[b] Not all are prophets, are they?[c] Not all are teachers, are they?[d] Not all are workers of miracles, are they?[e] 30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they?[f] Not all speak with tongues, do they?[g] Not all interpret, do they?[h] 31 But strive[i] for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
