rsv 1Corinthians:12:12-28
rsv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ 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.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:13 @ 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.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:14 @ For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:15 @ 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.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:16 @ 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.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:17 @ 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?
rsv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:19 @ If all were a single organ, where would the body be?
rsv@1Corinthians:12:20 @ As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:21 @ The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
rsv@1Corinthians:12:22 @ On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable,
rsv@1Corinthians:12:23 @ and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
rsv@1Corinthians:12:24 @ which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,
rsv@1Corinthians:12:25 @ that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:26 @ If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:27 @ Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
rsv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues.
