I Corinthians 12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
I Corinthians 12:28: 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.
I Corinthians 12:29: Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
I Corinthians 12:30: Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
