Old Testament

New Testament

1 Corinthians 12:13-20 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

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

15. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

16. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

17. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?

18. But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.

19. If all were a single member, where would the body be?

20. As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
