and all ate the same spiritual food,

and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

Do All to the Glory of God

“All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.

and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.

All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

One Body with Many Members

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

If all were a single member, where would the body be?

If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

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

Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.

I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all,

Orderly Worship

What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged,

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

But all things should be done decently and in order.
