G3588–ὁ–ho

diversities in work, and yet one and the same God--He who in each person brings about the whole result.

ὁ ho “the”ὁ ho “who”τὰ ta “the”

But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.

ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὸ to “the”

To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit;

τοῦ tou “the”τὸ to “the”

to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;

τῷ tō “the”τῷ tō “that”

But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.

τὸ to “the”τὸ to “the”

For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

τὸ to “the”τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “<the>”

For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.

τὸ to “the”

Were the foot to say, "Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “the”

Or were the ear to say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “the”

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be?

τὸ to “the”ἡ hē “[would be] the”ἡ hē “[would be] the”

But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body--every one of them--as He has seen fit.

ὁ ho “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τῷ tō “the”

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

τὰ ta “<the>”τὸ to “[would be] the”

It is also impossible for the eye to say to the hand, "I do not need you;" or again for the head to say to the feet, "I do not need you."

ὁ ho “the”τῇ tēa “to the”ἡ hē “the”τοῖς tois “to the”

No, it is quite otherwise. Even those parts of the body which are apparently somewhat feeble are yet indispensable;

τὰ ta “those”τοῦ tou “of the”

and those which we deem less honorable we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our ungraceful parts come to have a more abundant grace, while our graceful parts have everything they need.

τοῦ tou “of the”τὰ ta “the”

But it was God who built up the body, and bestowed more abundant honor on the part that felt the need,

τὰ ta “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῷ tō “to that which”

that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare.

τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “the”τὰ ta “the”

And if one part is suffering, every other part suffers with it; or if one part is receiving special honor, every other part shares in the joy.

τὰ ta “the”τὰ ta “the”

And by God's appointment there are in the Church--first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of `tong

ὁ ho “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

τὰ ta “the”τὰ ta “<the>”

If I can speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but am destitute of Love, I have but become a loud-sounding trumpet or a clanging cymbal.

ταῖς tais “in the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τῶν tōn “<the>”

If I possess the gift of prophecy and am versed in all mysteries and all knowledge, and have such absolute faith that I can remove mountains, but am destitute of Love, I am nothing.

τὰ ta “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”

And if I distribute all my possessions to the poor, and give up my body to be burned, but am destitute of Love, it profits me nothing.

τὰ ta “the”τὸ to “the”

Love is patient and kind. Love knows neither envy nor jealousy. Love is not forward and self-assertive, nor boastful and conceited.

Ἡ Hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”

She does not behave unbecomingly, nor seek to aggrandize herself, nor blaze out in passionate anger, nor brood over wrongs.

τὰ ta “the [things]”τὸ to “<the>”
