Now you are the body of Christ and each of you is part of it. And in the church
God has appointed first of all the apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
then workers of miracles, also those having the gift of healing, those able to help
others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of
tongues.
1 Corinthians 12: 27 - 28
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding
gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fanthom all mysteries
and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. If I give all I posess to the poor, and surrender my body to the flames,
but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13: 1 - 7
