For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ.
For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
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 just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.
Christ is just like the human body—a body is a unit and has many parts; and all the parts of the body are one body, even though there are many.
For just as the body is one but has many parts; and all the parts of the body, though many, constitute one body; so it is with the Messiah.
The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does.
For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.
For just as the [human] body is one [body]; and it has many body-parts; and all the body-parts of the [human] body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
A person has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts, but all those parts are still just one body. Christ is like that too.
Each person has only one body, but that body has many parts. All those different parts make only one body. It is like that with Christ too.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
A person’s body is ·one thing [a unity; L one], but it has many parts. Though there are many parts to a body, all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that also.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, which is one, though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.
For example, the body is one unit and yet has many parts. As all the parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

As the human body, which has many parts, is a unity, and those parts, despite their multiplicity, constitute one single body, so it is with the body of Christ. For we were all baptised by the Spirit into one body, whether we were Jews, Gentiles, slaves or free men, and we have all had experience of the same Spirit.
¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.

For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ.
Our bodies have many parts, but the many parts make up only one body when they are all put together. So it is with the “body” of Christ.
You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you’re still one body. It’s exactly the same with Christ. By means of his one Spirit, we all said good-bye to our partial and piecemeal lives. We each used to independently call our own shots, but then we entered into a large and integrated life in which he has the final say in everything. (This is what we proclaimed in word and action when we were baptized.) Each of us is now a part of his resurrection body, refreshed and sustained at one fountain—his Spirit—where we all come to drink. The old labels we once used to identify ourselves—labels like Jew or Greek, slave or free—are no longer useful. We need something larger, more comprehensive.
For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the many parts of that one body are one body, so also is Christ.

For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
The body is one, although it has many parts; and all the parts, though many, form one body. So it is with Christ.
A person’s body is one thing, but it has many parts. Though there are many parts to a body, all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that also.

Let me explain. Just as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is the Messiah.
For even as the body is echad, and has many evarim (members), and all the evarim (members) of the body, though many, are one body, so is Moshiach.
For as the body is one yet has many members—and all the members of the body, though they be many, are one body—even so is Christ.
