12:12 For 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. For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,
12:13 For 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. for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,
