1 Corinthians 12:20

20 nunc autem multa quidem membra unum autem corpus

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 nunc autem posuit Deus membra unumquodque eorum in corpore sicut voluit

19 quod si essent omnia unum membrum ubi corpus

20 nunc autem multa quidem membra unum autem corpus

21 non potest dicere oculus manui opera tua non indigeo aut iterum caput pedibus non estis mihi necessarii

22 sed multo magis quae videntur membra corporis infirmiora esse necessariora sunt
