For as in one body we have many members, and the members have not all the same office, so we, though many, form one body in Christ, and each of us is a member of it in common with the rest. Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; read more.
or if service, let us attend to the service; he that teacheth, let him attend to teaching; or he that exhorteth, to exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that presideth over others, with diligence; he that doeth deeds of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Know ye not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid! Know ye not, that he who is connected with a harlot is one body with her? "For the two," saith he, "shall become one flesh;" but he that is connected with the Lord is one spirit with him.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? For we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and were all made to drink one Spirit. For the body also is not one member, but many. read more.
If the foot say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body? And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But as it is, God set the members every one of them in the body, as it pleased him. And if they were all one member, where would be the body? But now there are, indeed, many members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, still more, those members of the body which seem to be weak, are necessary; and what we think to be less honorable parts of the body, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our unseemly parts have more abundant seemliness; while our seemly parts have no need. But God so put the body together, as to give special honor to that part which lacked, that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another. And so if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God appointed some in the church to be, in the first place, apostles, in the second place, prophets, in the third place, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, those of helping and of governing, divers kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And furthermore I show you by far the most excellent way.

and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; read more.
and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;

I exhort you, therefore, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called, with all humility and meekness, with longsuffering; bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. read more.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. But to each one of us was given the grace [which he hath] according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith: "When he ascended on high, he led captive a train of captives, and gave gifts to men." Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the same as he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministration, for the building up of the body of Christ; till we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a fullgrown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and borne about by every wind of teaching, through the dishonest tricks of men, and their cunning in the wily arts of error; but cleaving to truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him who is the head, even Christ; from whom the whole body, well put together and compacted by means of every supplying joint, is, according to the working of each part in its proportion, building itself up in love.

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord; for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church,he, who is the Saviour of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their husbands in everything. read more.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it, that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself; for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church; for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church. However, do ye also severally love each one his own wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

giving thanks to the Father, who enabled us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light; who rescued us from the empire of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins; read more.
who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of the whole creation; for in him were created all things, those in the heavens, and those on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things have been created through him and for him; and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist. And he is the head of the body, the church; since he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he may be in all things preeminent; for God was pleased that in him all the fullness should dwell, and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, I say, whether the things on earth, or those in the heavens.

presiding well over his own house, having his children in subjection with all propriety; for if a man knoweth not how to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man; for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man; and the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and hold fast the instructions, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.



Now as to the matters about which ye wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman; but on account of the commonness of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife her due; and so also the wife to her husband.

In like manner, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be won by the behavior of the wives, when they behold your chaste behavior coupled with fear. Whose adorning, let it not be the out yard adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing golden ornaments, or of putting on apparel; read more.
but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is imperishable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For in this manner in the old time the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands; as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye have become, if ye do well, and fear no alarm.

Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and hold fast the instructions, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man that prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. read more.
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved. For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man; for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man; and the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. For this cause the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. But neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things from God. Judge in your own selves; is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him, but that if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her? for her hair is given for a covering. But if any one seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not the woman to teach, nor to have authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. read more.
And Adam was not deceived; but the woman being deceived fell into transgression.

Submit yourselves therefore to every human institution for the Lords sake; whether to the king, as supreme; or to governors, as being sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and the praise of those who do well. For so is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men;
