7. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.
8. For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9. to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
10. to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.
11. But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.
12. For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ.
13. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.
14. For the body is not one member, but many.
15. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” not because of this is it not a part of the body.
16. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body, not because of this is it not a part of the body.
17. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18. But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.
19. And if they all were one member, where would the body be?
20. But now there are many members, but one body.
21. Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I do not have need of you,” or again, the head to the feet, “I do not have need of you.”
22. But by much more the members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary,
23. and the parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor, and our unpresentable parts come to have more abundant presentability,
24. but our presentable parts do not have need of this. Yet God composed the body by giving more abundant honor to the part which lacked it,
