    13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

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

    15If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

    16If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

    17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

    18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

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

    20But now they are many members, but one body.

    21The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

    22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

    23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;

    24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

    25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

    26When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

    27Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
