I Cornithians 13

In chapter 12, Paul told the Corinthians they were body of Christ
That they should not be surprised at the diversity within the church
- they were not all the same, because they were not supposed to be same
• each person had his and her own place
• the body is a living example of diversity within unity
- after listing a variety of gifted people, Paul says,
And I will show you a still more excellent way (1 Cor. 12:31)
• chapter 13 is the more excellent way for us to be the body of Christ
