    11But these all worketh euen one and the selfe same spirite, deuidyng to euery man a seuerall gyft, as he wyll.

    13For by one spirite, are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Iewes or gentiles, whether we be bonde or free: and haue all drunke of one spirite.

    14For the body is not one member, but many.

    18But nowe hath God set ye members, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased hym.

    21And the eye can not say vnto ye hande, I haue no neede of thee: Nor, the head agayne to the feete, I haue no neede of you.

    23And vpon those members of the body which we thynke least honest, put we more honestie on. And our vncomely partes, haue more comelynesse on.

    24For our comely members neede it not: But God hath tempered the body together, and hath geuen the more honour to that part which lacked:

    25Lest there shoulde be any stryfe in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another.

    26And yf one member suffer, all suffer with it. If one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it.

    27Ye are the body of Christe, and members one of another.
