1 CORINTHIANS 12:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body — whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free — and we were all given the one Spirit to drink — baptism into the one Spirit creates the one body, dissolving all status distinctions (Jew/Gentile, slave/free); the phrase 'given the one Spirit to drink' evokes both the Supper and the Spirit as the water of life, unifying baptism and Eucharist under pneumatic participation.
