OET (OET-LV) thus the many, one body we_are in chosen_one/messiah, and which each one of_one_another members.

OET (OET-RV) so too all of us are part of one body in Messiah and we’re all parts of each other.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–21: Paul taught about our body, love, and revenge

In this section, Paul taught that believers should use their bodies in ways that are holy and acceptable to God. Our thinking must change so that it follows the will of God and not the thinking of the people of this world.

Paul also taught that believers should not be more proud of themselves than what is right before God. We all have different gifts from the Holy Spirit, and we should use them.

Believers should love in a genuine way, avoid evil deeds, honor others, be full of eagerness to serve the Lord. They should rejoice, be patient, pray, help others, and show hospitality.

Believers should bless the people who persecute them, and live in sympathy and harmony with other believers. They are not to be proud such that they avoid people with no status in society. They are not to think of themselves as wise.

Believers are not to take revenge, but leave that for God to do something about the evil done to them. They are to do things that are honorable and live at peace with others, if they can. They are to bless their enemies by doing good to them.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The New Life in Christ (NRSV)

Our bodies, thinking, and deeds must be holy and good

12:5a

so in Christ we who are many are one body,

12:5a–b

so: Here this word introduces the comparison. See also the note on “Just as” in 12:4a.

in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another: Here the words body and member are metaphors. All believers are one group, the church of Christ. We have a united purpose and goal. We belong to the group and we also belong to each other in the group.

In some languages to say we…are one body will have the wrong meaning. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

12:5b

and each member belongs to one another.

each member belongs to one another: The Greek is more literally “each one members of one another.” It indicates that each believer belongs to the body and to each other.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἐσμεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὕτως οἱ πολλοί ἕν σῶμα ἐσμέν ἐν Χριστῷ τό δέ καθʼ εἱς ἀλλήλων μέλη)

Here, we refers to all Christians, so it is inclusive. Your language may require you to mark these forms.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν Χριστῷ

in Christ

See how you translated the similar phrase in [6:23](../06/23.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸ δὲ καθ’ εἷς ἀλλήλων μέλη

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὕτως οἱ πολλοί ἕν σῶμα ἐσμέν ἐν Χριστῷ τό δέ καθʼ εἱς ἀλλήλων μέλη)

Paul speaks of the believers as if God had physically joined them together like the parts of the human body are joined. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [and the individual believers are united to one another]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:4-5 so it is with Christ’s body: The parallel between the human body and the church—the body of Christ—is also found in 1 Cor 12. This metaphor provides an effective picture of unity and diversity in the church (cp. Livy, History 2.32; Epictetus, Discourses 2.10.4–5).
