1 Corinthians 12:12-14
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For The Body of Christ Is Like The Human Body
12 For just as the [human] body is one [body]; and it has many body-parts; and all the body-parts of the [human] body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.[a]
It Is One Body With One Spirit
13 For indeed with[b] one Spirit, we all were baptized into one body[c]— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free. And we all were given one Spirit to drink.
It Has Many Body Parts Placed By God
14 For indeed the body is not one body-part, but many.

Unity and Diversity in the Body
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(A) so it is with Christ.(B) 13 For we were all baptized(C) by[a] one Spirit(D) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(E)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(F) 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.(G)
