Indeed, all of you who were baptized into the Messiah have clothed yourselves with the Messiah.

In the same way, even though we are many people, we are one body in the Messiah and individual parts connected to each other.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, form a single body, so it is with the Messiah.

Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah,

For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.

He does not hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, which is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God enables it.

In him there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free person. Instead, the Messiah is all and in all.
