New International Version NIV
12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
12
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
13
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14 Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
14
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 If the foot would 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.
15
Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
16 And if the ear would 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.
16
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
