27 Ahora bien, ustedes son el cuerpo de Cristo, y cada uno es miembro de ese cuerpo.

1 Corintios 12:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:27

Now ye are the body of Christ
Not his natural body, which his Father prepared for him, in which he bore our sins on the tree, and which was offered up once for all; nor his sacramental body, or the bread in the supper, which is a representation of his body; but his body mystical, the church; not that the Corinthians were the whole of the body, only a part of it, as every single congregational church is of the church universal. This is an accommodation of the simile the apostle had to so much advantage enlarged upon: and members in particular;
or in part: meaning either that they as single members were part of the general body: or that only a part of them were so, there being some among them, as in all particular and visible churches, who had not the true grace of God; and so are neither members of Christ, nor of the general assembly and church of the firstborn: or the sense is, that they were not only members of Christ, and of his body, but were particularly members one of another, in strict union and close communion, and of mutual use and service to each other.

1 Corintios 12:27 In-Context

25 a fin de que no haya división en el cuerpo, sino que sus miembros se preocupen por igual unos por otros.

26 Si uno de los miembros sufre, los demás comparten su sufrimiento; y si uno de ellos recibe honor, los demás se alegran con él.

27 Ahora bien, ustedes son el cuerpo de Cristo, y cada uno es miembro de ese cuerpo.

28 En la iglesia Dios ha puesto, en primer lugar, apóstoles; en segundo lugar, profetas; en tercer lugar, maestros; luego los que hacen milagros; después los que tienen dones para sanar enfermos, los que ayudan a otros, los que administran y los que hablan en diversas lenguas.

29 ¿Son todos apóstoles? ¿Son todos profetas? ¿Son todos maestros? ¿Hacen todos milagros?
