⁴ For as in one body we have many members and not all the members have the same function,^(A)

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

¹⁵ but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,^{(A) 16} from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.

One Body with Many Members

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.^{(A) 13} For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.^(B)

¹⁴ Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit,^(A)

⁴ there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling,^(A)
