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

²⁰ But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.

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

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.

¹⁹ and not holding fast to ^(A)the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, ^(B)grows with the increase that is from God.

²⁷ Now ^(A)you are the body of Christ, and ^(B)members individually. ²⁸ And ^(C)God has appointed these in the church: first ^(D)apostles, second ^(E)prophets, third teachers, after that ^(F)miracles, then ^(G)gifts of healings, ^(H)helps, ^(I)administrations, varieties of tongues.

^23 (A)which is His body, ^(B)the fullness of Him ^(C)who fills all in all.

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 ^(D)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—^(E)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and ^(F)have all been made to drink ^[a]into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For in fact the body is not one member but many.

³³ just ^(A)as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
