For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 4 is found in chapter 12 of Romans. The community must avoid pride and recognize the diversity of gifts. Paul presents the body as a unity composed of members with different functions that should be exercised for the benefit of all.

Denn gleicherweise als wir in einem Leibe viele Glieder haben, aber alle Glieder nicht einerlei Geschäft haben,
Porque de la manera que en un cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, empero todos los miembros no tienen la misma operación;
Porque, así como en un solo cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, pero no todos los miembros tienen la misma función,
Car, comme nous avons plusieurs membres dans un seul corps, et que tous les membres n'ont pas la même fonction,
Perciocchè, siccome in uno stesso corpo abbiam molte membra, e tutte le membra non hanno una medesima operazione,
Porque assim como em um corpo temos muitos membros, e nem todos os membros têm a mesma operação,
正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體,肢體也不都有一樣的用處。
