^{12 Ref} 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.

^{13 Ref} 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.

^{14 Ref} For the body is not one member, but many.

^{15 Ref} 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.

^{16 Ref} 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.

^{17 Ref} If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

^{18 Ref} But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body?

^{20 Ref} But now they are many members, but one body.

^{21 Ref} 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.

^{22 Ref} Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

^{23 Ref} 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;

^{24 Ref} whereas our comely `parts' have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that `part' which lacked;

^{25 Ref} that there should be no schism in the body; but `that' the members should have the same care one for another.

^{26 Ref} And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or `one' member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

^{27 Ref} Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

^{28 Ref} And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, `divers' kinds of tongues.

^{29 Ref} Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all `workers of' miracles?

^{30 Ref} have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

^{31 Ref} But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
