10 ato another the working of miracles, to another bprophecy, to another cdiscerning of spirits, to another ddifferent kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, adistributing to each one individually bas He wills.
Unity and Diversity in One Body
12 For aas the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, bso also is Christ.
13 For aby one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—bwhether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and chave all been made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 But now aGod has set the members, each one of them, in the body bjust as He pleased.
19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
