And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit.

But all these worketh that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.

For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked:

That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.

But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Charity never faileth: but whether [there are] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there are] languages, they shall cease; whether [there is] knowledge, it shall vanish away.

But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an [unknown] language edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

I would that ye all spoke in languages, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh in languages, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
