the only thing i can think of is Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12 both of which talk about the unity in diversity in spiritual gifts to serve and edify.
Out of curiosity, Is there any particular reason you're looking for these verses?

Looking for verses is called proof-texting and I strongly encourage you not to 'look for verses' to support a point of view as it's poor-to-bad theology and bad-to-apalling logic.

Proverbs 17, perhaps?
1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness,
Than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame,
And will share an inheritance among the brothers.
3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
But the LORD tests the hearts.
(Proverbs 17)
Or Isaiah 56:
6 “ Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
(Isaiah 56)
