For as the body is one , and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body ; so also is Christ.
The body is a unit , though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body . So it is with Christ.
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free ; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free , and we were all given one Spirit to drink .
For the body is not one member , but many.
For the body does not consist of one part , but of many.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body ; it is not therefore not of the body.
If the foot should say, “ Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body ,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body ; it is not therefore not of the body.
And if the ear should say, “ Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body ,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing , where were the smelling ?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be ? If the whole body were an ear , where would the sense of smell be ?
But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him .
But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design .

But now they are many members , but one body.
As it is, there are many parts , but one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “ I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “ I do not need you. ”
Nay, much rather , those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
On the contrary , the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
and those `parts' of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor ; and our uncomely ` parts ' have more abundant comeliness;
and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor . And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
whereas our comely ` parts ' have no need : but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that `part' which lacked ;
whereas our presentable parts have no such need . But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
that there should be no schism in the body ; but ` that ' the members should have the same care one for another.
so that there should be no division in the body , but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
And whether one member suffereth , all the members suffer with it; or ` one ' member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
If one part suffers , every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof .

have all gifts of healings ? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
Do all have gifts of healing ? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
