Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

1 Corinthians 12:28
God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
1 Corinthians 12:29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
1 Corinthians 12:30
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 12:31
But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

1 Corinthians 12:13
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14
For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Corinthians 12:15
If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:16
If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
1 Corinthians 12:18
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
1 Corinthians 12:19
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
1 Corinthians 12:20
But now they are many members, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:21
The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
1 Corinthians 12:22
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
1 Corinthians 12:23
Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
1 Corinthians 12:24
while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
1 Corinthians 12:25
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
1 Corinthians 12:26
When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Ephesians 4:25
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

Ephesians 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
