Löydetty 20764 Tulokset: Or
The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, or the head to the feet, I have no need of you. (1 Corinthians 12, 21)
And you are Christ’s body, organs of it depending upon each other.✻ (1 Corinthians 12, 27)
God has given us different positions in the church; apostles first, then prophets, and thirdly teachers; then come miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, works of mercy, the management of affairs, speaking with different tongues, and interpreting prophecy. (1 Corinthians 12, 28)
Have all miraculous powers, or gifts of healing? Can all speak with tongues, can all interpret? (1 Corinthians 12, 30)
I may speak with every tongue that men and angels use; yet, if I lack charity, I am no better than echoing bronze, or the clash of cymbals. (1 Corinthians 13, 1)
I may have powers of prophecy, no secret hidden from me, no knowledge too deep for me; I may have utter faith, so that I can move mountains; yet if I lack charity, I count for nothing.✻ (1 Corinthians 13, 2)
I may give away all that I have, to feed the poor; I may give myself up to be burnt at the stake; if I lack charity, it goes for nothing.✻ (1 Corinthians 13, 3)
Charity is patient, is kind; charity feels no envy; charity is never perverse or proud, (1 Corinthians 13, 4)
takes no pleasure in wrong-doing, but rejoices at the victory of truth; (1 Corinthians 13, 6)
At present, we are looking at a confused reflection in a mirror; then, we shall see face to face; now, I have only glimpses of knowledge; then, I shall recognize God as he has recognized me. (1 Corinthians 13, 12)
whereas the prophet speaks to edify, to encourage, to comfort his fellow men. (1 Corinthians 14, 3)
but as things are, brethren, what good can I do you by coming and talking to you in strange languages, instead of addressing you with a revelation, or a manifestation of inner knowledge, or a prophecy, or words of instruction? (1 Corinthians 14, 6)
