American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
23 and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
23
and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24 whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;
24
while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25 that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
25
so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
26
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.
27
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.
28
And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?
29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
30
Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?
31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
31
Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
