Romanos 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 12:5

So we being many are one body in Christ
This is the application of the above simile. The chosen of God, the redeemed of Christ, and those that are justified by his righteousness, and sanctified by his Spirit; though they are but few in comparison of the men of the world, but considered in themselves are many, and yet make up but one body, the church, of which Christ is the head: and though this general assembly; or church universal, may be distinguished into several congregational churches, and distinct communities, yet each community, consisting of divers persons, is but one body "in Christ", united and knit together by joints and bands, under him their head, Lord, and King; in him, and not in Caesar, or any earthly monarch, to distinguish this body from bodies politic, or any civil community among men:

and everyone members one of another;
as in union with Christ their head, so to one another in love, walking in holy fellowship together, sympathizing with, and serving each other.

Romanos 12:5 In-Context

3 Basado en el privilegio y la autoridad
que Dios me ha dado, le advierto a cada uno de ustedes lo siguiente: ninguno se crea mejor de lo que realmente es. Sean realistas al evaluarse a ustedes mismos, háganlo según la medida de fe que Dios les haya dado.

4 Así como nuestro cuerpo tiene muchas partes y cada parte tiene una función específica,

5 el cuerpo de Cristo también. Nosotros somos las diversas partes de un solo cuerpo y nos pertenecemos unos a otros.

6 Dios, en su gracia, nos ha dado dones diferentes para hacer bien determinadas cosas. Por lo tanto, si Dios te dio la capacidad de profetizar, habla con toda la fe que Dios te haya concedido.

7 Si tu don es servir a otros, sírvelos bien. Si eres maestro, enseña bien.
