^{12 Ref} For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

^{15 Ref} If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it 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; is it 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 every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

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

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

^{21 Ref} And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

^{24 Ref} For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour 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 suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

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