Charity suffereth long,[ and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Charity never faileth: but whether[ there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether[ there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether[ there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1 Corinthians 12 12-1 Corinthians 12 28
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also[ is] Christ.For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether[ we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether[ we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.For the body is not one member, but many.If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?If the whole body[ were] an eye, where[ were] the hearing? If the whole[ were] hearing, where[ were] the smelling?But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.And if they were all one member, where[ were] the body?But now[ are they] many members, yet but one body.And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:And those[ members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely[ parts] have more abundant comeliness.For our comely[ parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that[ part] which lacked:That there should be no schism in the body; but[ that] the members should have the same care one for another.And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
