Unity and Diversity in One Body
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet 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 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
12Porque así como el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, pero todos los miembros del cuerpo, siendo muchos, son un solo cuerpo, así también Cristo. 13Porque por un solo Espíritu fuimos todos bautizados en un cuerpo, sean judíos o griegos, sean esclavos o libres; y a todos se nos dio a beber de un mismo Espíritu.
14Además, el cuerpo no es un solo miembro, sino muchos. 15Si dijere el pie: Porque no soy mano, no soy del cuerpo, ¿por eso no será del cuerpo? 16Y si dijere la oreja: Porque no soy ojo, no soy del cuerpo, ¿por eso no será del cuerpo? 17Si todo el cuerpo fuese ojo, ¿dónde estaría el oído? Si todo fuese oído, ¿dónde estaría el olfato? 18Mas ahora Dios ha colocado los miembros cada uno de ellos en el cuerpo, como él quiso. 19Porque si todos fueran un solo miembro, ¿dónde estaría el cuerpo? 20Pero ahora son muchos los miembros, pero el cuerpo es uno solo. 21Ni el ojo puede decir a la mano: No te necesito, ni tampoco la cabeza a los pies: No tengo necesidad de vosotros. 22Antes bien los miembros del cuerpo que parecen más débiles, son los más necesarios; 23y a aquellos del cuerpo que nos parecen menos dignos, a éstos vestimos más dignamente; y los que en nosotros son menos decorosos, se tratan con más decoro. 24Porque los que en nosotros son más decorosos, no tienen necesidad; pero Dios ordenó el cuerpo, dando más abundante honor al que le faltaba, 25para que no haya desavenencia en el cuerpo, sino que los miembros todos se preocupen los unos por los otros. 26De manera que si un miembro padece, todos los miembros se duelen con él, y si un miembro recibe honra, todos los miembros con él se gozan.
27Vosotros, pues, sois el cuerpo de Cristo, y miembros cada uno en particular.
1Yo pues, preso en el Señor, os ruego que andéis como es digno de la vocación con que fuisteis llamados, 2con toda humildad y mansedumbre, soportándoos con paciencia los unos a los otros en amor, 3solícitos en guardar la unidad del Espíritu en el vínculo de la paz; 4un cuerpo, y un Espíritu, como fuisteis también llamados en una misma esperanza de vuestra vocación; 5un Señor, una fe, un bautismo, 6un Dios y Padre de todos, el cual es sobre todos, y por todos, y en todos. 7
Walk in Unity
4 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
16Estad siempre gozosos. 17Orad sin cesar. 18Dad gracias en todo, porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.
