1 Corinthiens 12:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:18

But now hath God set the members
The members of a natural body, as they are all made and fashioned by God in the form they be, so they are each of them set by him in the place they are: everyone of them in the body as it hath pleased him;
according to his sovereign will, without consulting any; and each stands in the best situation and position they could be put, and for the greatest service and usefulness to the whole: so God, and not man, hath set every member in the mystical body, the church, in such a place and part of it, as he himself thought fit; some in a higher, others in a lower station, but all for the good of the body; and therefore each member ought to be content with his place, gift, and usefulness, be they what they will; since it is the wise counsel and sovereign pleasure of God, who works all things after the counsel of his own will, that so it should be.

1 Corinthiens 12:18 In-Context

16 Et si l'oreille disait: Parce que je ne suis pas un oeil, je ne suis pas du corps,  ne serait-elle pas du corps pour cela?

17 Si tout le corps était oeil, où serait l'ouïe? S'il était tout ouïe, où serait l'odorat?

18 Maintenant Dieu a placé chacun des membres dans le corps comme il a voulu.

19 Si tous étaient un seul membre, où serait le corps?

20 Maintenant donc il y a plusieurs membres, et un seul corps.
