Reading 1, First Corinthians 12:12-14, 27-31

¹² For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts -- all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body -- so it is with Christ.

¹³ We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.

¹⁴ And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many.

²⁷ Now Christ's body is yourselves, each of you with a part to play in the whole.

²⁸ And those whom God has appointed in the Church are, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers; after them, miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helpful acts, guidance, various kinds of tongues.

²⁹ Are all of them apostles? Or all prophets? Or all teachers? Or all miracle-workers?

³⁰ Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all of them speak in tongues and all interpret them?

³¹ Set your mind on the higher gifts. And now I am going to put before you the best way of all.

⁵ For Yahweh is good, his faithful love is everlasting, his constancy from age to age.
