Contextual Overview
12 A person has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts, but all those parts are still just one body. Christ is like that too. 13 Some of us are Jews and some of us are not; some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptized to become one body through one Spirit. And we were all given the one Spirit. 14 And a person's body has more than one part. It has many parts. 15 The foot might say, "I am not a hand, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body. 16 The ear might say, "I am not an eye, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not make the ear stop being a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, it would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, it would not be able to smell anything. 18If each part of the body were the same part, there would be no body. But as it is, God put the parts in the body as he wanted them. He made a place for each one. 20 So there are many parts, but only one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you!" 22 No, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are actually very important.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
