¹² For gar just as kathaper the ho physical body sōma is eimi one heis yet kai has echō many polys members melos, and de all pas the ho members melos of the ho body sōma, though eimi many polys, are eimi one heis body sōma, so houtōs also kai is the ho body of Christ Christos. ¹³ · kai For gar in en one heis Spirit pneuma we hēmeis were baptizō all pas baptized baptizō into eis one heis body sōma, whether eite Jews Ioudaios or eite Greeks Hellēn, slaves or eite free eleutheros, and kai we were potizō all pas imbued with potizō one heis Spirit pneuma.

¹⁴ For gar indeed kai the ho body sōma is eimi not ou a single heis member melos, but alla many polys. ¹⁵ If ean the ho foot pous should say legō, “ Since hoti I am eimi not ou a hand cheir, I am eimi not ou part of ek the ho body sōma,” it would not ou for para that houtos reason cease ou to be eimi part of ek the ho body sōma. ¹⁶ And kai if ean the ho ear ous should say legō, “ Since hoti I am eimi not ou an eye ophthalmos, I am eimi not ou part of ek the ho body sōma,” it would not ou for para that houtos reason cease ou to be eimi part of ek the ho body sōma. ¹⁷ If ei the ho whole holos body sōma were an eye ophthalmos, where pou would the ho sense of hearing akoē be? If ei the whole holos body were an ear akoē, where pou would the ho sense of smell osphrēsis be? ¹⁸ But de as it is nyni, · ho God theos arranged tithēmi the ho members melos in en the ho body sōma, every hekastos one heis of them autos, just as kathōs he chose thelō. ¹⁹ If ei · de they were eimi · ho all pas a single heis member melos, where pou would the ho body sōma be? ²⁰ But de as it is nyn, there are many polys members melos, but de one heis body sōma. ²¹ The ho eye ophthalmos cannot ou dynamai · de say legō to the ho hand cheir, “ I have echō no ou need chreia of you sy”; nor ē again palin the ho head kephalē to the ho feet pous, “ I have echō no ou need chreia of you hymeis.” ²² Quite polys the contrary alla, those ho members melos of the ho body sōma that seem dokeō to be hyparchō weaker asthenēs are eimi indispensable anankaios, ²³ and kai those members houtos of the ho body sōma that hos we consider dokeō less honorable atimos we clothe with peritithēmi greater perissoteros honor timē, and kai · ho our hēmeis unpresentable aschēmōn members are treated with echō greater perissoteros modesty euschēmosynē, ²⁴ · ho whereas de our hēmeis presentable members euschēmōn have echō no ou such need chreia. Instead alla, · ho God theos has so arranged synkerannymi the ho body sōma, giving didōmi greater perissoteros honor timē to the ho member that lacked hystereō it, ²⁵ so that hina there would be eimi no mē division schisma in en the ho body sōma, but alla that the ho members melos would have merimnaō the ho same autos care merimnaō for hyper one allēlōn another . ²⁶ And kai if eite one heis member melos suffers paschō, every pas member melos suffers sympaschō with it; · ho if eite one heis member melos is honored doxazō, every pas member melos rejoices synchairō with it. · ho
