¹⁷ For ^(A)we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

⁵ so ^(A)we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

¹⁵ And let ^(A)the peace of God rule in your hearts, ^(B)to which also you were called ^(C)in one body; and ^(D)be thankful.

²⁷ Now ^(A)you are the body of Christ, and ^(B)members individually.

Unity and Diversity in One Body^(A)

¹² For ^(B)as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, ^(C)so also is Christ.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

²⁵ Therefore, putting away lying, ^(A)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for ^(B)we are members of one another.

^16 (A)from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

¹² for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, ^(A)for the ^[a]edifying of ^(B)the body of Christ, ¹³ till we all come to the unity of the faith ^(C)and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to ^(D)a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

^4 (A)There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

Sons and Heirs

²⁶ For you ^(A)are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For ^(B)as many of you as were baptized into Christ ^(C)have put on Christ. ^28 (D)There is neither Jew nor Greek, ^(E)there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all ^(F)one in Christ Jesus.
