1 Corinthians 12:20

20 Now are ther many membres yet but one body.

1 Corinthians 12:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:20

But now are they many members
Of different make and shape, in different parts and places, and of different use and service: yet but one body;
all are united together, and make up one complete body, and which without each of them would not be perfect: so there are many members in the body of Christ, the church; some are teachers, others are hearers; some give, and others receive; but all make up but one church, of which Christ is the head; nor can anyone of them be spared; was anyone wanting, even the meanest, there would be a deficiency, and the church would not be the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

1 Corinthians 12:20 In-Context

18 But now hath god disposed the membres every one of them in the body at his awne pleasure.

19 If they were all one member: where were the body?

20 Now are ther many membres yet but one body.

21 And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you.

22 Ye rather a greate deale those mebres of the body which seme to be most feble are most necessary.
