1 Coríntios 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 Coríntios 12:18 In-Context

16 E se o ouvido disser: “Porque não sou olho, não pertenço ao corpo”, nem por isso deixa de fazer parte do corpo.

17 Se todo o corpo fosse olho, onde estaria a audição? Se todo o corpo fosse ouvido, onde estaria o olfato?

18 De fato, Deus dispôs cada um dos membros no corpo, segundo a sua vontade.

19 Se todos fossem um só membro, onde estaria o corpo?

20 Assim, há muitos membros, mas um só corpo.
