1 Corinthians 12:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 to another mighty deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues.(A) 11 But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.(B)
One Body, Many Parts.[a] 12 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.(C)

- 12:12–26 The image of a body is introduced to explain Christ’s relationship with believers (1 Cor 12:12). 1 Cor 12:13 applies this model to the church: by baptism all, despite diversity of ethnic or social origins, are integrated into one organism. 1 Cor 12:14–26 then develop the need for diversity of function among the parts of a body without threat to its unity.
