1 Corinthians 12:31a
For just as the body is one and has many members, and
all the members of the body, though many, are one body,
so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all
baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—
and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the
body does not consist of one member but of many. If the
foot would say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong
to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the
body. And if the ear would say, “Because I am not an eye,
I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any
less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye,
where would the hearing be? If the whole body were
hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is,
God arranged the members in the body, each one of them,
as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the
body be? As it is, there are many members, yet one
body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of
you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of
you.” On the contrary, the members of the body that
seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those
members of the body that we think less honorable we
clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable
members are treated with greater respect; whereas our
more respectable members do not need this. But God
has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to
the inferior member, that there may be no dissension
within the body, but the members may have the same
care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer
together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice
together with it.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members
--."
of it. And God has appointed in the church first
apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds
of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance,
forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. Are all
apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all
work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all
speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strive for the
greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent
way.
Luke 4:14-21
Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned
to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all
the surrounding country. He began to teach in their
synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he
came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he
went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his
custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the
prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll
and found the place where it was written:
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the
attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the
synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say
to them, ‘Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your
hearing.’
