1 Corinthians 12:12-28

12For justG2509 1asG2509 the bodyG4983 is oneG1520 and yet hasG2192 manyG4183 partsG3196, and allG3956 the partsG3196 of the bodyG4983, though they are manyG4183, are oneG1520 bodyG4983, 2soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547. 13For 34by oneG1520 SpiritG4151 we were allG3956 baptizedG907 into oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 5JewsG2453 orG1535 GreeksG1672, whetherG1535 slavesG1401 orG1535 freeG1658, and we were allG3956 madeG4222 toG4222 6drinkG4222 of oneG1520 SpiritG4151.

14For 7the bodyG4983 is not oneG1520 partG3196, but manyG4183. 15IfG1437 the footG4228 saysG3004, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 not a handG5495, I amG1510 not a part of the bodyG4983,” it is not for thisG3778 reasonG3844 8anyG3756 lessG3756 a part of the bodyG4983. 16And ifG1437 the earG3775 saysG3004, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 not an eyeG3788, I amG1510 not a part of the bodyG4983,” it is not for thisG3778 reasonG3844 9anyG3756 lessG3756 a part of the bodyG4983. 17IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 would the hearingG189 be? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 body were hearingG189, whereG4226 would the senseG3750 ofG3750 smellG3750 be? 18But nowG3568 GodG2316 has 10arrangedG5087 the partsG3196, eachG1538 oneG1520 of them in the bodyG4983, 11justG2531 asG2531 He desiredG2309. 19IfG1487 they were allG3956 oneG1520 partG3196, whereG4226 would the bodyG4983 be? 20But nowG3568 12there are manyG4183 partsG3196, but oneG1520 bodyG4983. 21And the eyeG3788 cannotG1410G3756 sayG3004 to the handG5495, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you”; orG2228 againG3825, the headG2776 to the feetG4228, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you.” 22On the contraryG235, 13it is muchG4183 truerG3123 that the partsG3196 of the bodyG4983 which seemG1380 to be weakerG772 are necessaryG316; 23and those parts of the bodyG4983 whichG3739 we 14considerG1380 lessG820 honorableG820, 15on theseG3778 we bestowG4060 greaterG4053 honorG5092, and our lessG809 presentableG809 parts becomeG2192 muchG4053 moreG4053 presentableG2157, 24whereasG1161 our moreG2158 presentableG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of it. But GodG2316 has so composedG4786 the bodyG4983, givingG1325 moreG4053 abundantG4053 honorG5092 to that part which lackedG5302, 25soG2443 thatG2443 there may be noG3361 16divisionG4978 in the bodyG4983, but that the partsG3196 may haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 for oneG240 anotherG240. 26And ifG1535 oneG1520 partG3196 of the body suffersG3958, allG3956 the partsG3196 sufferG4841 with it; ifG1535 a partG3196 is 17honoredG1392, allG3956 the partsG3196 rejoiceG4796 withG4796 it.

27NowG1161 you are 18Christ’sG5547 bodyG4983, and 19individuallyG3313 partsG3196 of it. 28And GodG2316 has 2021appointedG5087 in 22the churchG1577, firstG4413 23apostlesG652, secondG1208 24prophetsG4396, thirdG5154 25teachersG1320, thenG1899 2627miraclesG1411, thenG1899 28giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, 29administrationsG2941, and various 30kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100.
