    11It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

    12Different Members in One Body For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body– though many– are one body, so too is Christ.

    13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.

    14For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

    15If the foot says,“Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

    16And if the ear says,“Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

    17If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

    18But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

    19If they were all the same member, where would the body be?

    21The eye cannot say to the hand,“I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot,“I do not need you.”

    22On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential,

    23and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity,

    24but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

    25so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

    26If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

    27Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it.
