1 Corinthians 13 4-1 Corinthians 13 9
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered,it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with.For we know in part and prophesy in part;

1 Corinthians 12 12-1 Corinthians 12 28
For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.For the body is not one part, but many.If the foot says,“ Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.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 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 now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired.If they were all one part, where would the body be?But now there are many parts, but one body.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.”On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and various kinds of tongues.
