11. All of the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives them to each person, just as he decides.
12. There is one body. But it has many parts. Even though it has many parts, they make up one body. It is the same with Christ.
13. We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit into one body. It didn't matter whether we were Jews or Greeks, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink.
14. The body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.
15. Suppose the foot says, "I am not a hand. So I don't belong to the body." It is still part of the body.
16. And suppose the ear says, "I am not an eye. So I don't belong to the body." It is still part of the body.
17. If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?
18. God has placed each part in the body just as he wanted it to be.
19. If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body?
20. As it is, there are many parts. But there is only one body.
