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.

¹³ For ^(A)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—^(B)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and ^(C)have all been made to drink ^[a]into one Spirit.

^4 (A)There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; ^5 (B)one Lord, ^(C)one faith, ^(D)one baptism; ^6 (E)one God and Father of all, who is above all, and ^(F)through all, and in ^[a]you all.

Spiritual Gifts

⁷ But ^(G)to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

^4 (A)There are ^[a]diversities of gifts, but ^(B)the same Spirit. ^5 (C)There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God ^(D)who works ^[b]all in all. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: ⁸ for to one is given ^(E)the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another ^(F)the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, ^9 (G)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another ^(H)gifts of healings by ^[c]the same Spirit, ^10 (I)to another the working of miracles, to another ^(J)prophecy, to another ^(K)discerning of spirits, to another ^(L)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^(M)distributing to each one individually ^(N)as He wills.

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

²⁸ And ^(A)God has appointed these in the church: first ^(B)apostles, second ^(C)prophets, third teachers, after that ^(D)miracles, then ^(E)gifts of healings, ^(F)helps, ^(G)administrations, varieties of tongues.

¹¹ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 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;
