THE MESSAGE
I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn't just a single part blown up into something huge. It's all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, "I'm not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don't belong to this body," would that make it so? If Ear said, "I'm not beautiful like Eye, limpid and expressive; I don't deserve a place on the head," would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.

Contextual Overview
12 For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ. 13 For in one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body whether we be Iewes or getyls whether we be bonde or fre: and have all dronke of one sprete. 14 For the body is not one member but many. 15 Yf the fote saye: I am not the honde therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of ye body: 16 And if ye eare saye I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? 17 If all the body were an eye where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge? 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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the body is not one member,.... Not only one; nor is anyone member the body, though ever so eminent, as the head or eye: thus the church of Christ is not one person only, or does not consist of one sort of persons; as only of Jews, or only of Gentiles, or only of rich and freemen, or only of men of extraordinary gifts and abilities, or greatly eminent for grace and spiritual knowledge:
but many; members, as the Arabic version adds; as eyes, ears, hands, feet, c. so in the mystical body of Christ, the church, there are many members, some in a higher station, others in a lower some of greater gifts, grace, and usefulness, others of lesser; some Jews, other Gentiles; some bond, others free; yet all one in Christ the head, and all related to each other.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For the body ... - The body is made up of many members, which have various offices. So it is in the church. We are to expect the same variety there; and we are not to presume either that all will be alike, or that any member that God has placed there will be useless.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Corinthians 12:14. For the body is not one member — The mystical body, the Church, as well as the natural body, is composed of many members.
