for we are members of his body. ¹ 

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it.

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

and do not present your members to sin as instruments ¹  to be used for unrighteousness, ²  but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments ³  to be used for righteousness.

My eyes have grown dim ¹  with grief; my whole frame ²  is but a shadow.

If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a ¹  member is honored, all rejoice with it.

On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential,

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) ¹  For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.

So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

namely, that through the gospel ¹  the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members ²  of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity, ¹
