³⁰ because we are members of his body.

¹⁵ Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

²³ And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

¹² 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 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 For the body is not one member, but many.

¹⁵ 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 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 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

¹⁸ 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 But now they are many members, but one body.

²¹ 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 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

²³ 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 whereas our comely `parts' have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that `part' which lacked;

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

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

²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

²³ which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

¹⁹ and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increasing with the increase of God.
