12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

unity is not uniformity.

And in Your book they all were written,

expound

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.
