THE BODY OF THE MESSIAH
For exactly as the body is one and has many members; and all the members of that one body being many, are one body; thus also the Messiah. 13 For in one Spirit we all are baptized into one body, whether Yah Hudiym, whether Hellenes, whether servants, whether liberated; and have all to drink into one Spirit. 14
ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS
For the body is not one member, but many. 15 Whenever the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; so is it not of the body? 16 And whenever the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; so is it not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where the smelling? 18 And now Elohim sets the members - each in the body - exactly as he wills. 19 And if they all were one member, where the body? 20 And now indeed, many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Rather, much more, those members of the body we think to be frail are necessary; 23 and on those of the body we think of as dishonorable, we place superabundant honor; and on our misbehavors, superabundant honor. 24 For our honorables have no need: but Elohim co-mingles the body giving superabundant honor to what lacked; 25 that there be no schism in the body; but that the members have the same anxiety one for another. 26 And whether one member suffers, all the members co-suffer; or whether one member is glorified, all the members co-rejoice: 27 and you are the body of Messiah and members in particular. 28
THE CHARISMATA IN THE ECCLESIA
And indeed Elohim set some in the ecclesia: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors, then dynamis, then charismata of healings, supports, pilots, genos of tongues. 29 All apostles? All prophets? All doctors? All dynamis? 30 All the charismata of healings? All speak with tongues? All translate? 31 But be zealous for the better charismata: and I show you a still more excellent way.
