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

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.
