12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
“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 Christ.”
“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 Christ,”
“For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.”

“For as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of that one body being, many are one body, so also is Christ.”
13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
“For by one spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and have all been made to drink into one spirit.”
“for by one spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free and have all been made to drink into one spirit.”

“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.”
14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
“For the body is not one member, but many.”
“For in fact, the body is not one member, but many.”
“for the body is not one member, but many.”
“For the body is not one member, but many.”
“For the body is not one member, but many.”

15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.
“If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?”
“if the foot should say, because I am not a hand, I am not of the body. Is it therefore not of the body?”
“If the foot should say because I am NOT a hand I am NOT of the body is it therefore not of the body.”

“If the foot shall say because I am not the hand I am not of the body is it therefore not of the body.”
“If 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 should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.

“And if the ear should say, because I am not an eye, I am not of the body. Is it therefore not of the body?”

“And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body. Is it therefore not of the body?”
“And 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 would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
“If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the spelling?”
“If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?”
“If the whole body were an eye, beware, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?”

“But now God has set the members each one of them in the body just as he pleased.”

“But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body just as He desires.”
“But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body just as he desired.”
19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
“If they were all one member, where would the body be?”
“and if they were all one member where were the body.”
“if they were all one member, where would the body be?”
“if they were all one member where would the body be.”
“And if they were all one member where were the body.”
“And if they were all one member, where were the body?”
20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
“But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.”
“But now indeed there are many members yet one body”
“But now, indeed, there are many members, yet one body”
“But now indeed there are many members yet one body.”
“But now are they many members yet but one body.”
“but now are they many members yet but one body.”
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you." Nor can the head say to the feet, "I do not need you."
“the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
“The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you. Nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”

“and 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.”
“And 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.”
22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
“No, much rather those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”
“No, much rather those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”
“No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”
“No much rather those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”
“Nay much more. Those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary.”
“nay, much more, those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble are necessary.”
23and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
“And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty.”
“And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable on those we bestow greater honor and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty.”
“And those members of the body which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour. And our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.”

“and 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.”
24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
“But our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,”
“But our presentable parts have no need but God composed the body having given greater honor to that part which lacks it”
“For our comely parts have no need, but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.”

“For our comely parts have no need. But God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacks.”
“For our comely parts have no need, but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacketh.”
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
“That there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care, one for another.”
“That there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.”
“that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.”
“That there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.”
“that there should be no schism in the body but that the members should have the same care for one another.”
“"...that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.".”
26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
“And if one member suffers all the members suffer with it or if one member is honored all the members rejoice with it.”
“If one member suffers, all suffer together. If one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
“and If one member suffers all the members suffer with it. If one member is honored all the members rejoice with it”

27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
“Now, ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
