Attend ye not to do your justice before men, to be seen to them; and if otherwise ye have no reward from your Father which in the heavens. When therefore thou doest alms, thou shouldst not sound the trumpet before thee, as hypocrites do in the assemblies, and in the streets, that they might be praised by men. Verily I say to you, They have their reward. But thou doing alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right does: read more.

If the foot say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body And if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body If the whole body an eye, where the hearing If the whole hearing, where the smelling? And now has God set the members each one of them in the body, as he would. And if all were one member, where the body And now truly many members, and one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. But much rather the members of the body, seeming to be weak, are necessary: And what we think to be less honourable of the body, upon these we put more abundant honour; and our unseemly parts have more abundant decorum. And our becoming parts have no need: but God blended the body together, to the wanting having given more abundant honour: That no division be in the body; but the members should care the same for one another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer together; or one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together. And ye are the body of Christ, and members by parts. And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues. Not all sent: not all prophets: not all teachers: not all powers: All have not the favors of healing: not all speaking with tongues: not all interpret accurately. And be emulous of the better favors: and yet I shew you a way according to eminence.

One body, and one Spirit, as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one immersion, One God and Father of all, who over all, and through all, and in you all. And to each one of us was grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he says, Having ascended into height, he made captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. (And so having ascended, what is it except that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He having descended is the same having ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill up all things.) And truly he gave the sent; and the prophets; and the bearers of good tidings; and the shepherds, and the teachers; For the adjusting of the holy, for the work of the service, for the building up of the body of Christ: Until we all arrive to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the perfect man, to the measure of age of the filling up of Christ. That we be no more babes, tossed about, and carried around by every wind of doctrine, in the playing at dice of men, in craft, with the artifice of deceit; And speaking the truth in love, let us grow up into him in all things, who is the head, Christ: From whom all the body fitted together and joined together by every touch of the expenditure, according to the energy in measure of one of each part, makes the increase of the body to the building up of itself in love.

Ephesians 5:22-33

Women, yield ye obedience to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. But as the church is subjected to Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. read more.
Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it; That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless. So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself. For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church. But ye also altogether, let each so love his own wife as himself: and the wife that she fear her husband.

Colossians 3:15

And let the peace of God act as umpire in your hearts, to which also, ye were called in one body: and be grateful.

And there are distinctions of favors, and the same Spirit. And there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord. And there are distinctions of performances, and it is the same God performing all things in all. And to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit. For truly to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; And to another faith in the same Spirit; and to another graces of healings in the same Spirit; And to another performances of powers; and to another discriminations of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: And all these works one and the same Spirit, dividing to each his own things as be will.
