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
And if the ear shall say,.... The organ that receives sounds, and can distinguish them, and in which member is placed the sense of hearing; and may design such as are hearers of the word of God, not merely externally, but internally; who hear so as to love, savour, and relish it; so as to understand and believe it, and to act in compliance with it; and distinguish it for themselves, though they may not be able to give a distinct account of it to others, or instruct others in it:
because I am not the eye: the organ of seeing, in which is seated the visive faculty, and which receives light, and uses it for the good of the body, whose superintendent it is; and may be expressive of the ministers of the Gospel, who are that to the church, as eyes are to the body; they are the light of the world, have a clear insight into the doctrines of the Gospel, and communicate their light to others; they are set in the highest place in the church, and as watchmen and overseers there, to instruct; guide, and direct the members of it:
I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? it certainly is; and so such as are only hearers of the Gospel, being affectionate, believing, understanding and fruitful hearers; though they have not such large knowledge and clear light, so as to be capable of overseeing and instructing others, yet are true and useful members of the church, are highly respected by Christ the head, and to be had in esteem by their fellow members, who may be superior to them.
