1 Corinthians 12:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 But it is the Spirit who does all this and decides which gifts to give to each of us.
One Body with Many Parts
12 (A) The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does. 13 Some of us are Jews, and others are Gentiles. Some of us are slaves, and others are free. But God's Spirit baptized each of us and made us part of the body of Christ. Now we each drink from that same Spirit.[a]

- 12.13 Some of us are Jews … that same Spirit: Verse 13 may also be translated, “God's Spirit is inside each of us, and all around us as well. So it doesn't matter that some of us are Jews and others are Gentiles and that some are slaves and others are free. Together we are one body.”

1 Corinthians 12:11-13
New International Version
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(A) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
Unity and Diversity in the Body
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(B) so it is with Christ.(C) 13 For we were all baptized(D) by[a] one Spirit(E) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(F)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(G)
