and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
但如今,上帝隨自己的意思把肢體俱各安排在身上了。
12:19
ወእመሰኵሉመሌሊትአሐዱአይቴእምኮነነፍስት።
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
若都是一個肢體,身子在哪裏呢?
12:20
ወይእዜኒመሌሊቱብዙኅወነፍስቱአሐዱ።
But now they are many members, but one body.
但如今肢體是多的,身子卻是一個。
12:21
ወኢትክልዐይንትበላለእድኢይፈቅደኪወካዕበኢትክልርእስትበሎሙለኵሎሙኢይፈቅደክሙ።
The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
眼不能對手說:「我用不着你。」頭也不能對腳說:「我用不着你。」
12:22
ወብከመሌሊትዝኩዘታስተሐቅሮፈድፋደመፍቅድከ።
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
不但如此,身上肢體人以為軟弱的,更是不可少的。
12:23
ወዝኩዘታንእሶያፈድፍድለከክብረ።
Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
身上肢體,我們看為不體面的,越發給它加上體面;不俊美的,越發得着俊美。
12:24
ወቶስሖእግዚአብሔርለነፍስትነወአክበሮፈድፋደለመሌሊትንኡስ።
while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
我們俊美的肢體,自然用不着裝飾;但上帝配搭這身子,把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體,
12:25
ከመኢይትአበዩበበይናቲሆሙመለያልይነከመይዕሪክብረወከመሰኢይትአበይአባልነ።
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
God 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.
