1 Corinthians 12:14
Print
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the [human] body does not consist of one part, but of many [limbs and organs].
For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
Indeed, the body is not one part but many.
Certainly the body isn’t one part but many.
For indeed the body is not one part but many.
Our bodies don't have just one part. They have many parts.
For also the body is not one member but many.
For indeed the body is not one body-part, but many.
For the body also is not one member, but many.
And a person’s body has more than one part. It has many parts.
A person's body does not have only one part. It has many parts.
Furthermore, the body is not one member, but many.
For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
[L For] The ·human body [L body] is not made up of one part, but of many.
For the body also is not one member, but many.
As you know, the human body is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.
For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.
So the body is not one part but many.
And a person’s body has more than one part. It has many parts.
For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.
Now the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand I don’t belong to the body,” does that alter the fact that the foot is a part of the body? Of if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye I don’t belong to the body,” does that mean that the ear really is no part of the body? After all, if the body were all one eye, for example, where would be the sense of hearing? Or if it were all one ear, where would be the sense of smell? But God has arranged all the parts in the one body according to his design. For if everything were concentrated in one part, how could there be a body at all? The fact is there are many parts, but only one body. So that the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” nor, again, can the head say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body which have no obvious function are the more essential to health: and to those parts of the body which seem to us to be less deserving of notice we have to allow the highest honour of function. The parts which do not look beautiful have a deeper beauty in the work they do, while the parts which look beautiful may not be at all essential to life! But God has harmonised the whole body by giving importance of function to the parts which lack apparent importance, that the body should work together as a whole with all the members in sympathetic relationship with one another. So it happens that if one member suffers all the other members suffer with it, and if one member is honoured all the members share a common joy.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
For also the body is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
Yes, the body has many parts, not just one part.
I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, “I’m not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don’t belong to this body,” would that make it so? If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, transparent and expressive; I don’t deserve a place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.
The body is not one part, but many.
For indeed the body is not a single member, but many.
As you know, the human body is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.
Now the body is not a single part, but many.
For the body is not one part, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
Now the body is one, although it has many parts.
The human body has many parts.
For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.
So the body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
For in fact the body is not one member but many.
The body is not one part, but many parts.
Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.
For the body is not one member, but many.
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
For the body, indeed, is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one, but many, evarim (members).
For the body is also not one member, but many.
For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
For the body is not one part, but many.
Here’s what I mean: the body is not made of one large part but of many different parts.
For the body is not one member, but many.
I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.
For the body is not one member, but many.
for also the body is not one member, but many;
