14 For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.
15 If 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.
16 And 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.
17 If 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?
18 But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.
19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
20 So now there are many members, but one body.
21 The 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.”
22 On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential,
23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity,
25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.
26 If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.
27 Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it.
4 For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,
5 so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.
6 And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.
12 Different 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.
16 From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body builds itself up in love.
19 He has not held fast to the head from whom the whole body, supported and knit together through its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God.
23 Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
29 For no one has ever hated his own body, but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,
30 because we are members of his body.
23 Even though they have the appearance of wisdom with their self-imposed worship and humility achieved by an unsparing treatment of the body– a wisdom with no true value– they in reality result in fleshly indulgence.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
29 so that no one can boast in his presence.
38 But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
12 In this way you will live a decent life before outsiders and not be in need.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.
23 For there is more to life than food, and more to the body than clothing.
10 For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.
40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us.
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,
13 “Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both.” The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn“not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.
7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
7 An Eternal Weight of Glory But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.
24 but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who take pride in outward appearance and not in what is in the heart.
21 who will transform these humble bodies of ours into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.
4 that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor,
3 Let your beauty not be external– the braiding of hair and wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes–
1 Exhortation for the Strong to Help the Weak But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.
12 Paul’s Mission For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who recommend themselves. But when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.
13 But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.

10 We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!
31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.
