Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, for the common good.

Together you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of that body.

If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, all the other parts share its honor.

The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom, and the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge. The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages and to another the ability to interpret those languages.

One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit decides what to give each person.

so our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other.

There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve. And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do.

In the church God has given a place first to apostles, second to prophets, and third to teachers. Then God has given a place to those who do miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who can help others, those who are able to govern, and those who can speak in different languages.

The human body has many parts.

No! Those parts of the body that seem to be the weaker are really necessary.

If the whole body were an eye, it would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, it would not be able to smell. If each part of the body were the same part, there would be no body. But truly God put all the parts, each one of them, in the body as he wanted them.
