¹²For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

¹³For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

¹⁴For the body is not one member, but many.

²⁷Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

²⁸God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

²⁹Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

³⁰Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

³¹But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

²In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

³Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

³Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

⁴For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.

⁵Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

⁶Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.

¹⁵But I trust in you, LORD. I said, "You are my God."

¹⁶My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

²⁰Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

²⁵But standing by Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

²⁶Therefore when Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"

²⁷Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour, the disciple took her to his own home.
