1 Corinthians 12:22-25

Context
12:22 On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential, 12:23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity, 1  12:24 but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member, 12:25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

1 Corinthians 12:31

Context
12:31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.

And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison. 2
