1 Corinthians 12:12-14

One Spirit, Many Gifts, and One Body in Christ

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
