Romans 12:5 in Other Translations

KJV
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
ESV
5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
NLT
5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
MSG
5 The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body,
CSB
5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

Romans 12:5 In-Context

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith;
7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
