Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἐσμεν
˱we˲_are
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.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ δὲ καθ’ εἷς ἀλλήλων μέλη
¬which and each one ˱of˲_one_another members
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”
μέλη
members
See how you translated members in the previous verse.
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).
OET (OET-LV) thus the many, one body we_are in chosen_one/messiah, and which each one of_one_another members.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
