"''Brethren, Be Not Children'' (also called ''The Body Song'') recites two scripture verses from I Corinthians (KJV) exhorting believers to strive for unity within the Body of Christ, emphasizing how God has uniquely equipped each one for ministry. This was written as a scripture memory tool and can be sung as a 3 or 4-part round. I Corinthians 14:20 - Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. I Corinthians 12:18-20 - But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. (KJV)"

But now are they many members, many members, many members, yet but one body, yet but one body many members yet but one body. ''Repeated as a 4-part round...''
