12:14 身子原不是一个肢体，乃是许多肢体。
12:15 设若脚说：“我不是手，所以不属乎身子。”它不能因此就不属乎身子。
12:16 设若耳说：“我不是眼，所以不属乎身子。”它也不能因此就不属乎身子。
12:17 若全身是眼，从哪里听声呢？若全身是耳，从哪里闻味呢？
12:18 但如今 神随自己的意思把肢体俱各安排在身上了。
12:19 若都是一个肢体，身子在哪里呢？
12:20 但如今肢体是多的，身子却是一个。
12:21 眼不能对手说：“我用不着你。”头也不能对脚说：“我用不着你。”
12:22 不但如此，身上肢体，人以为软弱的，更是不可少的。
12:23 身上肢体，我们看为不体面的，越发给它加上体面；不俊美的，越发得着俊美。
12:24 我们俊美的肢体，自然用不着装饰；但 神配搭这身子，把加倍的体面给那有缺欠的肢体，
12:25 免得身上分门别类，总要肢体彼此相顾。
12:26 若一个肢体受苦，所有的肢体就一同受苦；若一个肢体得荣耀，所有的肢体就一同快乐。
12:27 你们就是基督的身子，并且各自作肢体。
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
