For (A)as in one body we have many members,[a] and the members do not all have the same function, so we, (B)though many, (C)are one body in Christ, and individually (D)members one of another.

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(A) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(B) and each member belongs to all the others.

Now (A)there are varieties of gifts, but (B)the same Spirit; and (C)there are varieties of service, but (D)the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is (E)the same God who empowers them all in everyone. (F)To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of (G)wisdom, and to another the utterance of (H)knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another (I)faith by the same Spirit, to another (J)gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another (K)the working of miracles, to another (L)prophecy, to another (M)the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another (N)various kinds of tongues, to another (O)the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, (P)who apportions to each one individually (Q)as he wills.

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as (R)the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, (S)so it is with Christ. 13 For (T)in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(U)Jews or Greeks, slaves[a] or free—and (V)all were made to drink of one Spirit.

  1. 1 Corinthians 12:13 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(A) distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(B) it is the same God(C) at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(D) To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(E) to another a message of knowledge(F) by means of the same Spirit, to another faith(G) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(H) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(I) to another prophecy,(J) to another distinguishing between spirits,(K) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](L) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(M) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(N) so it is with Christ.(O) 13 For we were all baptized(P) by[c] one Spirit(Q) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(R)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(S)
