⁴ For ^(A)just as we have many parts in one body and all ^[a]the body’s parts do not have the same function, ⁵ so we, ^(B)who are many, are ^(C)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. ⁶ However, since we have gifts that ^(D)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if ^(E)prophecy, ^[b]in proportion to one’s faith; ⁷ if ^[c](F)service, in the act of serving; or the one who ^(G)teaches, in the act of teaching; ⁸ or the one who ^[d](H)exhorts, in the work of ^[e]exhortation; the one who gives, with ^[f](I)generosity; ^(J)the one who ^[g]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with ^(K)cheerfulness.

¹⁴ For ^(A)the body is not one part, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason ^[a]any less a part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason ^[b]any less a part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But now God has ^(B)arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, ^(C)just as He desired. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now ^(D)there are many parts, but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
