For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office, so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of another; but having different gifts according to the grace given us, if prophecy [let us prophesy] according to the analogy of the faith, read more.

If the foot says, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? and if the ear says, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole was a hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body, as he pleased. But if all were one member, where would be the body? But now there are many members, but one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, or again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you; but much more those members of the body which seem to be weak are necessary, and those which we esteem to be less honorable members of the body, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely members have more abundant comeliness, for our comely ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it. And you are a body of Christ, and members in particular. And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then powers, then gifts of performing cures, aids, governments, different tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all powers? have all gifts of performing cures? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But desire earnestly the best gifts: and I will still more fully show you the way.

There is one body, and one spirit, as you also are called in one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. And to each one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he says, When he ascended on high, he took captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. But this, that he ascended, what is it but that he first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended above all heavens, that he might fill all [places]. And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we may be no longer children, driven about like waves and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the art of men, and the craftiness of deceitful wiles, but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ; by whom all the body being joined together and compacted by the supply of every joint, according to the proportionate operation of every part, makes increase of the body to the edification of itself in love.

Let wives [be subject] to their husbands as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also let wives be subject to husbands in every thing. read more.
Husbands, love your wives as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify it, purifying it with the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself glorious, not having a spot or wrinkle or any thing of the kind, but that it should be holy and blameless. Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also the church; for we are members of his body. For this cause 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 of Christ and the church. But do you also, individually, each one so love his wife as himself, and the wife [see] that she reverences the husband.
