1 Korintus 14:26

Church Order

12:23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity, ²  12:24 but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

1 Korintus 7:12

1 Korintus 12:12

Different Members in One Body

12:12 For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body – though many – are one body, so too is Christ.

[14:26]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.

[12:23]  ² tn Grk “have greater propriety (or decorum, presentability).”

[7:12]  ³ sn I, not the Lord. Here and in v. 10 Paul distinguishes between his own apostolic instruction and Jesus’ teaching during his earthly ministry. In vv. 12-16, Paul deals with a situation about which the Lord gave no instruction in his earthly ministry.
