1 Corinthians 12:12

Next

¶ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.

For {G1063} as {G2509} the body {G4983} is {G2076} one {G1520}, and {G2532} hath {G2192} many {G4183} members {G3196}, and {G1161} all {G3956} the members {G3196} of that one {G1520} body {G4983}, being {G5607} many {G4183}, are {G2076} one {G1520} body {G4983}: so {G3779} also {G2532} is Christ {G5547}.

For just as the body is one but has many parts; and all the parts of the body, though many, constitute one body; so it is with the Messiah.

The 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.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
