我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，并且各个互相作肢体。
787 林前十二20
但如今肢体是多的，身体却是一个。
But now the members are many, but the body one.
788 林前十二21、22
眼不能对手说，我不需要你；头也不能对脚说，我不需要你。
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
林前十二22
不但如此，身上肢体似乎较为软弱的，更是不可少的；
But much rather the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
配搭是必须的，因为我们各个互相作肢体。
789 林前十二27
你们就是基督的身体，并且各自作肢体。
Now you are the Body of Christ, and members individually.
配搭是必须的，因为我们各个互相作肢体。
790 结一9、弗四16
他们[四活物a]的翅膀彼此相接；他们行走并不转身，俱各直往前行。
Their wings were joined one to another; they did not turn as they went; each went straight forward.
我们需要有四活物的配搭。（a启四7)
弗四16
本于祂，全身藉着每一丰富供应的节，并藉着每一部分依其度量而有的功用，得以联络在一起，并结合在一起，便叫身体渐渐长大，以致在爱里把自己建造起来。
Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.
配搭的目标是为着建造基督的身体。
