First Corinthians · Chapter 12

One Body, Many Members

The Spirit's gifts, mutual belonging, and a more excellent way

1 Corinthians 12

Read the Chapter in Three Natural Movements

The Holy Spirit gives varied gifts for the common good. No member can claim independence or insignificance; Christ has formed one body whose differing members receive honor and care together. The chapter remains whole while each passage receives room for Scripture, context, reflection, and prayer.
