1 Corinthians 12:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 (A)And all these things worketh one and the selfsame Spirit, distributing to every man severally [a]as he will.
12 [b]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: [c]even so is [d]Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into [e]one body, whether we be Jews, or Grecians, whether we be bond, or free, and have been all made to [f]drink into one Spirit.

So must we also think, saith he, of the mystical body of Christ: for all we that believe, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, are by one selfsame Baptism joined together with our head, that by that means, there may be framed one body compact of many members: and we have drunk one selfsame spirit, that is to say, a spiritual feeling, perseverance and motion common to us all, out of one cup.
