Rom. 12:4‑5• 4For just as in one body we have many members, but the members have not all the same function,
 5so we, the many, are one body in Christ, but individually members of one another. (Rom. 12:4‑5)
;
1 Cor. 12:12‑31• 12For even as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
 13For by one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
 14For also the body is not one member but many.
 15If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, it is not on this account not of the body;
 16and if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, it is not on this account not of the body.
 17If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If all hearing, where the smelling?
 18But now God set the members each one of them in the body according as he pleased.
 19And if they all were one member, where the body?
 20But now [are there] many members, and one body.
 21And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; or, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
 22But much more the members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary:
 23and those which we think to be less honourable [members] of the body, on these we put more abundant honour, and our uncomely [members] have more abundant comeliness;
 24but our comely [members] have no need. But God blended the body together, having given more abundant honour to that which lacked,
 25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
 26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]: whether a member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
 27Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
 28And God set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then powers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues.
 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all powers?
 30Have all gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
 31But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet I show you a way of exceeding excellence. (1 Cor. 12:12‑31)
