13 For we are all baptysed in one sprete to be one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyles, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all dronke of one sprete.
14 For the body also is not one membre, but many.
15 Yf the fote saye: I am not ye hande, therfore am I not a membre of the body,is he therfore not a membre of ye body?
16 And yf the eare saye: I am not the eye, therfore am I not a membre of the body, is he therfore not a membre of the body?
17 Yf all the body were an eye, where were then the hearinge? Yf all were hearinge, where then the smellinge?
18 But now hath God set the membres, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 Neuertheles yf all the mebres were one membre, where were then the body?
20 But now are the membres many, yet is the body but one.
21 The eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the: or agayne the heade vnto the fete, I haue no nede of you:
22 but rather a greate deale the mebres of the body which seme to be most feble, are most necessary:
23 and vpon those membres of the body which we thinke least honest, put we most honestie on: and oure vncomly partes haue most beutye on.
24 For oure honest membres neade it not. But God hath so measured ye body, and geuen most honoure vnto that mebre which had nede,
25 that there shulde be no stryfe in the body, but that the membres shulde indifferently care one for another. And yf one membre suffre, all the membres suffre with him:
26 and yf one membre be had in honoure, all the membres are glad with him also.
27 But ye are the body of Christ, and membres, euery one of another.
