 13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
 14For the body is not one member, but many.
 15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
 16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
 17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
 18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
 19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
 20But now are they many members, yet but one body.
 21And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
 22Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
 23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
 24For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:
 25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
 26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
 27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (1 Cor. 12:12‑27)
• "For we are members one of another." It is of great importance for our souls, not only that we should walk well and righteously, but that the motive, character, and extent, should be according to God too. (“Remarks on Ephesians 4:17-27” by W. Kelly)
• “Truth,” the expression of simplicity and integrity of heart, is in connection with “the truth as it is in Jesus,” whose life is transparent as the light, as falsehood is in connection with deceitful lusts. (“Ephesians 4-5” by J.N. Darby)
