For indeed the body is not one member but many.
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah.
If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?
And if they all had been one member, where would the body be?
And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.
Therefore, having put off the false, speak truth, each one with his neighbour, for we are members of one another.
