| 12 | For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. |
| 13 | For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free -- and all were made to drink of one Spirit. |
| 14 | For the body does not consist of one member but of many. |
| 15 | If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. |
| 16 | And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. |
| 17 | If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? |
| 18 | But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose. |
| 19 | If all were a single organ, where would the body be? |
