Matthew(i)
7 The giftes of the spirite are geuen to euerie man to profite the congregation.
8 To one is geuen thorowe the spirite the vtteraunce of wysdome. To another is geuen the vtteraunce of knowledge by the same spirite.
9 To another is geuen fayth by the same spirite. To another the giftes of healinge, by the same spirite.
10 To another power to do miracles. To another prophecie. To another iudgement of spirites. To an other diuerse tounges. To another the interpretation of tounges.
11 And these all worketh euen the selfe same spyryte, deuydynge to euerye man seuerall gyftes, euen as he wyll.
12 For as the bodye is one, and hath manye membres, and all the membres of one bodye though they be many, yet are they but one bodye: euen so is Christ.
13 For in one spyryte are we al baptysed to make one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentiles, whether we be bounde or fre: and haue al drounke of one spirite.
14 For the body is not one member, but manye.
15 Yf the fote saye: I am not the hand, therfore I am not of the bodye: is he therfore not of the bodye?
16 And yf the eare saye, I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the bodye: is he therfore not of the bodie?
17 If al the bodye were an eye, where were then the eare? If all were hearinge? wher were the smellynge?
18 But nowe hath God disposed the membres euerye one of them in the bodye, at hys owne pleasure,
19 If they were al one member: where were the bodye?
20 Nowe are there manye membres, yet but one bodye.
21 And the eye can not saye vnto the hand: I haue no nede of the: nor the heade also to the fete. I haue no nede of you.
22 Yea rather a greate deale those members of the bodye, whyche seme to be moste feble, are moste necessarye.
23 And vpon those membres of the bodie, which we thinke leste honest, put we moste honestye on. And oure vngodlye parties haue most beauty on.
24 For our honeste members nede it not. But God hath so disposed the bodye, and hath geuen moste honoure to that parte whyche lacked,
25 lest there should be anye stryfe in the bodye: but that the membres shoulde indifferentlye care one for another.
26 And yf one member be had in honoure, all the membres be glad also.
27 Ye are the bodye of Christe, and membres one of another.
28 And God hath also ordeined in the congregation, fyrst the Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thyrdely teachers then them that do miracles: after that the giftes of healinge, helpers, gouernes, diuersitie of tounges.
29 Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles:
