《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

不但如此，身上肢体人以为软弱的，更是不可少的。Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

左咡

身上肢体，我们看为不体面的，越发给他加上体面。不俊美的，越发得着俊美。And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

左咡

我们俊美的肢体，自然用不着装饰。但神配搭这身子，把加倍的体面给那有缺欠的肢体。For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

左咡

免得身上分门别类。总要肢体彼此相顾。That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

左咡

若一个肢体受苦，所有的肢体就一同受苦。若一个肢体得荣耀，所有的肢体就一同快乐。And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

左咡

你们就是基督的身子，并且各作肢体。Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

左咡

神在教会所设立的，第一是使徒。第二是先知，第三是教师。其次是行异能的。再次是得恩赐医病的。帮助人的。治理事的。说方言的。And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

左咡

岂都是使徒吗。岂都是先知吗。岂都是教师吗。岂都是行异能的吗。Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

左咡

你们要切切的求那更大的恩赐，我现今把最妙的道指示你们。But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

左咡

我若能说万人的方言，并天使的话语却没有爱，我就成了呜的锣，响的钹一般。Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
