¹⁷ And these ^[a]signs will accompany those who have believed: ^(A)in My name they will cast out demons, they will ^(B)speak with new tongues;

¹⁰ and to another the workings of ^(A)miracles, and to another ^(B)prophecy, and to another the ^[a](C)distinguishing of spirits, to someone else various ^(D)kinds of tongues, and to another the ^[b](E)translation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^(F)distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

¹² For even ^(G)as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, ^(H)so also is Christ. ¹³ For also ^[c](I)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether ^(J)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to ^(K)drink of one Spirit.

¹⁴ For also ^(L)the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason ^[d]any the less a part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason ^[e]any the less a part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But now God has ^(M)appointed the members, each one of them, in the body, ^(N)just as He desired. ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now ^(O)there are many members, but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” ²² On the contrary, how much more is it that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary, ²³ and those members of the body which we think as less honorable, ^[f]on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, ²⁴ whereas our more presentable members have no such need. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, ²⁵ so that there may be no ^[g]division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. ²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is ^[h]honored, all the members rejoice with it.

²⁷ Now you are ^(P)Christ’s body, and ^(Q)individually members of it. ²⁸ And God has ^[i](R)appointed in ^(S)the church, first ^(T)apostles, second ^(U)prophets, third ^(V)teachers, then ^[j](W)miracles, then ^(X)gifts of healings, helps, ^(Y)administrations, various ^(Z)kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of ^[k]miracles? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all ^[l](AA)translate? ³¹ But ^[m]you ^(AB)earnestly desire the greater gifts.

And I will yet show you a more excellent way.

²¹ In ^(A)the Law it is written, “^(B)By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people, and even so they will not listen to Me,” says the ^[a]Lord.
