As we have many members in one body, and all members have not one office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ - and every man, among ourselves, one another's members. Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith; read more.
Let him that hath an office, wait on his office; Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. Do ye not understand that he which coupleth himself with a harlot, is become one body? "For two," saith he, "shall be one flesh." but he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ? Because that we - though we be many - yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ. For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. read more.
If the foot say, "I am not the hand, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? And if the ear say, "I am not the eye, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? If all the body were an eye: where were then the ear? If all were hearing: where were the smelling? But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure. If they were all one member: where were the body? Now are there many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee," nor the head also to the feet, "I have no need of you." Yea, rather a great deal those members of the body which seem to be most feeble, are most necessary. And upon those members of that body which we think least honest, put we most honesty on. And our ungoodly parts have most beauty on. For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked, lest there should be any strife in the body: but that the members should indifferently care for one another. And if one member suffer, all suffer with him: if one member be had in honour, all members be glad also. Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another. And God hath also ordained in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles; after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? Covet after the best gifts. And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward, which believe according to the working of that his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things, above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come. read more.

I therefore which am in bonds for the Lord's sake, exhort you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, in all humbleness of mind, and meekness, and long suffering, forbearing one another through love, and that ye be diligent to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, read more.
being one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. Let there be but one Lord, one faith, one baptism: one God and father of all, which is above all, through all, and in you all. Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, "He is gone up on high, and hath led captivity captive, and hath given gifts unto men." That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth? He that descended, is even the same also that ascended up, even above all heavens, to fulfill all things. And the very same, made some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Shepherds, some Teachers: that the saints might have all things necessary to work and minister withal, to the edifying of the body of Christ, till we, everyone - in the unity of faith, and knowledge of the son of God - grow up unto a perfect man, after the measure of age which is of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, wavering and carried with every wind of doctrine, by the wiliness of men and craftiness, whereby they lay a wait for us to deceive us. But let us follow the truth in love, and in all things grow in him which is the head, that is to say Christ, in whom all the body is coupled and knit together, in every joint, wherewith one ministereth to another - according to the operation as every part hath his measure - and increaseth the body, unto the edifying of itself in love.

Women: submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the congregation is in subjection to Christ, likewise let the wives be in subjection to their husbands in all things. read more.
Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it, to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word, to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame. So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself. For no man ever yet, hated his own flesh; but nourisheth, and cherisheth it: even as the Lord doth the congregation. 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 continue with his wife, and two shall be made one flesh." This is a great secret, but I speak between Christ and the congregation. Nevertheless, do ye so that every one of you love his wife truly even as himself: And let the wife see that she fear her husband.
