If the whole were hearing, where is the smelling? ¹⁸ Has God set the members of the body, every one of them, just as it pleased him? ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

¹⁹ For, though I am free from all persons, yet I have made myself a servant to all, that I might gain more. ²⁰ To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews. To those under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain those under the Law. ²¹ To those without Law I became like those without Law that I might gain them. I am not without law to God, but under the law to (toward) (of) Christ. ²² To the weak I became as the weak, that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. ²³ And this I do for the sake of the good news that I might be a partaker of it with others.

²⁰ But now they are many members, yet they are one body.

⁴ For we have many members in one body and all members do not have the same function. ⁵ These many members are one body in Christ, and every one, individually, is a member one of the other. ⁶ We have gifts that differ according to the grace that is given to us. Whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; ⁷ or ministry, let us wait on our ministering; or he who teaches on teaching; ⁸ or he who exhorts; on exhortation; he who gives let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

¹ Brothers, if someone is caught in any kind of wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should set him right. But you must do it in a gentle way. And keep an eye on yourselves, so that you will not be tempted, too. ² Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. ³ So if any one of you thinks you are important when you really are not, you are only fooling yourself. ⁴ Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others. ⁵ For each person should carry his own load. ⁶ But let him that is orally taught in the word share all good things. ⁷ Do not be deceived. God is not mocked! A man will harvest what he sows. ⁸ He that sows to his own flesh will harvest corruption of the flesh. But he that sows to the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. ⁹ Let us not grow tired of doing good things for in due season we shall harvest, if we do not faint. ¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith. ¹¹ See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand. ¹² Those who desire to make a showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised. This is done so they may not be persecuted for the stake of Christ. ¹³ For not even those who receive circumcision obey the Law. They desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ Never should I boast except in the stake (symbolic: self-denial and atonement) of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is through this stake that the world has been impaled to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision anything, but a new creature is. ¹⁶ The Israel of God will have peace and mercy. All who walk by this rule will also. ¹⁷ Let no one trouble me. I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body. ¹⁸ The grace (Greek: charis, divine favor, loving-kindness) of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit (Greek: pneuma, mental outlook, attitude), brothers. Amen.

If the whole were hearing, where is the smelling? ¹⁸ Has God set the members of the body, every one of them, just as it pleased him? ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now they are many members, yet they are one body.

¹³ For you formed my inward parts. You wove me in my mother's womb. ¹⁴ I will praise you, for in an awesome way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful and I know this very well. ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and woven in the depths of the earth. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my embryo and all were written in your book; the days ordained for me. Even this before one had taken place.
