1 Co. 12:12‑27• 12Porque de la manera que el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, empero todos los miembros del cuerpo, siendo muchos, son un cuerpo, así también Cristo.
 13Porque por un Espíritu somos todos bautizados en un cuerpo, ora Judíos ó Griegos, ora siervos ó libres; y todos hemos bebido de un mismo Espíritu.
 14Pues ni tampoco el cuerpo es un 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?

 22Antes, mucho más los miembros del cuerpo que parecen más flacos, son necesarios;
 23Y á aquellos del cuerpo que estimamos ser más viles, á éstos vestimos más honrosamente; y los que en nosotros son menos honestos, tienen más compostura.
 24Porque los que en nosotros son más honestos, no tienen necesidad: mas 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 interesen los unos por los otros.
 26Por manera que si un miembro padece, todos los miembros á una se duelen; y si un miembro es honrado, todos los miembros á una se gozan.
