²⁸ And ^(A)God has appointed these in the church: first ^(B)apostles, second ^(C)prophets, third teachers, after that ^(D)miracles, then ^(E)gifts of healings, ^(F)helps, ^(G)administrations, varieties of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ But ^(H)earnestly desire the ^[a]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

The Greatest Gift

13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of ^(I)prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, ^(J)so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And ^(K)though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body ^[b]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
