12For 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.
13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14For the body is not one member, but many.
15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the membrs of that one body, being many, are one bodie: so also is Christ.
13For by one spirit are we all baptized into one bodie, whether wee bee Iewes or †Gentiles, whether wee bee bond or free: and haue beene all made to drinke into one spirit.
14For the body is not one member, but many.
15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body?
16And if the eare shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body?
17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18But now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no need of thee: nor againe, the head to the feete, I haue no neede of you.
22Nay, much more those members of the bodie, which seeme to bee more feeble, are necessary.
23And those members of the bodie, which wee thinke to bee lesse honourable, vpon these we ‖bestow more abundant honour, and our vncomely parts haue more abundant comelinesse.
24For our comely parts haue no need: but God hath tempered the bodie together, hauing giuen more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25That there should be no ‖schisme in the body: but that the members should haue the same care one for another.
26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it: or one member be honoured, all the members reioyce with it.
27Now yee are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
23For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.
24Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing.
25Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it:
26That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word,
27That hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinckle, or any such thing: but that it should bee holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.
29For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh.
32This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.
