12/29 ~ From New Testament Letters
🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)
21 - The eye of a body can’t say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor the head to the feet say, “I have no need of you.” 22 Instead, the weaker members are indispensable! 23 And the members we think of as less honorable we bestow the greater honor upon, and our less noble parts we treat with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts don’t require. In the same way, God has composed the body of Christ, giving greater value {grace needed?} to parts deficient, 25 that there may be no-division in-the-body, but that the members may have genuine concern for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together. If a member is honored, all rejoice!
27 For you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and 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?
