Context The Body of Christ…19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”… Cross References Romans 12:5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another. 1 Corinthians 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:14 For the body does not consist of one part, but of many. 1 Corinthians 12:19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 1 Corinthians 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you." Nor can the head say to the feet, "I do not need you." Treasury of Scripture But now are they many members, yet but one body. Jump to Previous Body Different Fact Indeed Matter Members PartsJump to Next Body Different Fact Indeed Matter Members Parts1 Corinthians 12 1. Spiritual gifts,4. are diverse, 7. yet to profit all. 8. And to that end are diversely bestowed; 12. as the members of a natural body tend all to the mutual decency, 22. service, 26. and helpfulness of the same body; 27. so we should do for one another, to make up the body of Christ. (20) But now are they.--From the reductio ad absurdum of the previous verses the Apostle turns to the fact as it is, and proceeds (in 1Corinthians 12:21) to state that there is a mutual interdependence in the members of the body. The eye is dependent on the hand, the head upon the feet. Here, no doubt, the illustration is drawn out in this particular direction to rebuke those who being themselves possessed of what were considered important spiritual gifts despised the gifts which the Spirit had bestowed on others.
