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.

· · · verses 15–26 are not read27Now 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.

1Shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands!2Serve the Lord with gladness.Come before his presence with singing.

3Know that the Lord, he is God.It is he who has made us, and we are his.We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,and into his courts with praise.Give thanks to him, and bless his name.

5For the Lord is good.His loving kindness endures forever,his faithfulness to all generations.

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.
