^{12 Ref} For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,

^{13 Ref} for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

^{14 Ref} for also the body is not one member, but many;

^{15 Ref} if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

^{16 Ref} and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

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

^{24 Ref} and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

^{25 Ref} that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

^{26 Ref} and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with `it' do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with `it' do all the members;

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

^{28 Ref} And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;
