(12-31)
12For just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of that body, although being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
13For truly by one spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink one spirit.
14For the body, indeed, is not one member, but many.
15If the foot should say: “Because I am not a hand, I am no part of the body,” it is not for this reason no part of the body.
16And if the ear should say: “Because I am not an eye, I am no part of the body,” it is not for this reason no part of the body.
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the [sense of] hearing be? If it were all hearing, where would the smelling be?
18But now God has set the members in the body, each one of them, just as he pleased.
19If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20But now they are many members, yet one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand: “I have no need of you”; or, again, the head [cannot say] to the feet: “I have no need of YOU.”
22But much rather is it the case that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary,
23and the parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we surround with more abundant honor, and so our unseemly parts have the more abundant comeliness,
24whereas our comely parts do not need anything. Nevertheless, God compounded the body, giving honor more abundant to the part which had a lack,
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have the same care for one another.
26And if one member suffers, all the other members suffer with it; or if a member is glorified, all the other members rejoice with it.
27Now YOU are Christ’s body, and members individually.
28And God has set the respective ones in the congregation, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then powerful works; then gifts of healings; helpful services, abilities to direct, different tongues.
29Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform powerful works, do they?
30Not all have gifts of healings, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all are translators, are they?
31But keep zealously seeking the greater gifts. And yet I show YOU a surpassing way.

(12-31)
12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
13For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
28And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.

(12-31)
12Porque así como el cuerpo es uno, pero tiene muchos miembros, y todos los miembros de ese cuerpo, aunque son muchos, son un solo cuerpo, así también es el Cristo.
13Porque, de hecho, por un solo espíritu todos nosotros fuimos bautizados [para formar] un solo cuerpo, seamos judíos o griegos, seamos esclavos o libres, y a todos se nos hizo beber un solo espíritu.
14Porque el cuerpo, en realidad, no es un solo miembro, sino muchos.
15Si el pie dijera: “Porque no soy mano, no soy parte del cuerpo”, no por esta razón deja de ser parte del cuerpo.
16Y si la oreja dijera: “Porque no soy ojo, no soy parte del cuerpo”, no por esta razón deja de ser parte del cuerpo.
17Si todo el cuerpo fuera ojo, ¿dónde estaría el [sentido del] oído? Si todo fueraoído, ¿dónde estaría el olfato?
18Pero ahora Dios ha colocado a los miembros en el cuerpo, cada uno de ellos, así como le agradó.
19Si todos fueran un solo miembro, ¿dónde estaría el cuerpo?
20Pero ahora son muchos miembros, aunque un solo cuerpo.
21El ojo no puede decir a la mano: “No tengo necesidad de ti”; o, de nuevo, la cabeza [no puede decir] a los pies: “No tengo necesidad de ustedes”.
22Antes bien, con mucho el caso es que los miembros del cuerpo que parecen ser más débiles son necesarios,
23y a las partes del cuerpo que creemos que son menos honorables, a estas las cercamos de más abundante honra, y así nuestras partes indecorosas tienen el más abundante decoro,
24mientras que nuestras partes decorosas no necesitan nada. No obstante, Dios compuso el cuerpo, dando más abundante honra a la parte a que le hacía falta,
25para que no hubiera división en el cuerpo, sino que sus miembros tuvieran el mismo cuidado los unos de los otros.
26Y si un miembro sufre, todos los demás miembros sufren con él; o si un miembro es glorificado, todos los demás miembros se regocijan con él.
27Pues bien, ustedes son el cuerpo de Cristo, y miembros individualmente.
28Y Dios ha colocado a las personas respectivas en la congregación: primero, apóstoles; segundo, profetas; tercero, maestros; luego obras poderosas; luego dones de curaciones; servicios de ayuda, capacidades directivas, diferentes lenguas.
29No todos son apóstoles, ¿verdad? No todos son profetas, ¿verdad? No todos son maestros, ¿verdad? No todos ejecutan obras poderosas, ¿verdad?
30No todos tienen dones de curaciones, ¿verdad? No todos hablan en lenguas, ¿verdad? No todos son traductores, ¿verdad?
31Pero sigan procurando celosamente los dones mayores. Y todavía les muestro un camino sobrepujante.
