Rom 12:5, 1Cor 12:4-31, Eph 2:20-22 | ESV | STEP | so we, though many , are one body in Christ , and individually members one of another .

4 Now ^dthere are varieties of gifts, but ^ethe same Spirit; 5 and ^fthere are varieties of service, but ^gthe same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is ^hthe same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 ⁱTo each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of ^jwisdom, and to another the utterance of ^kknowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another ^lfaith by the same Spirit, to another ^mgifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another ⁿthe working of miracles, to another ^oprophecy, to another ^pthe ability to distinguish between spirits, to another ^qvarious kinds of tongues, to another ^rthe interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, ^swho apportions to each one individually ^tas he wills.

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as ^uthe body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, ^vso it is with Christ. 13 For ^win one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— ^xJews or Greeks, slaves ^{▼▼Or servants; Greek bondservants} or free—and ^zall were made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If 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. 16 And 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. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, ^aaGod arranged the members in the body, each one of them, ^abas he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, ^{▼▼Or members; also verse 22} yet one body.

21 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.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, ^adall rejoice together.

27 Now ^aeyou are the body of Christ and individually ^afmembers of it. 28 And ^agGod has appointed in the church first ^ahapostles, second ^aiprophets, third teachers, then ^ajmiracles, then ^akgifts of healing, ^alhelping, ^amadministrating, and ^anvarious kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But ^aoearnestly desire the higher gifts.

And I will show you a still more excellent way.

Ephesians 2:20-22

20 ^apbuilt on the foundation of the ^aqapostles and prophets, ^arChrist Jesus himself being ^asthe cornerstone, 21 ^atin whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^aua holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him ^avyou also are being built together ^awinto a dwelling place for God by ^{▼▼Or in} the Spirit.
