1 Corinthians 12:20

“It was of this body that the Apostle was speaking, when he wrote, taking his metaphor from our own body, “If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing?” etc. What he wished understood by these words, he has expressed more clearly, by adding, “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”” — editor's note: 1 Cor. xii. 17–21.

“Do all interpret?”” — editor's note: 1 Cor. xii. 8–30.

“Read Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians and learn how the one body is made up of different members.” — editor's note: 1 Cor. xii. 12–27.

“…another is pre-eminent, they may, like the members of our bodies, be so combined and knit together by the harmony of the Spirit, as to form one perfect body, really worthy of Christ Himself, our Head.” — editor's note: 1 Cor. xii. 20; Eph. iv. 15.

“This, too, I may confidently say: he who has likened the unity of our body throughout its manifold and divers members to the compacting together of the various gifts of the Spirit, shows also that there is but one Lord of the human body and of the Holy Spirit.” — editor's note: 1 Cor. xii. 12–30, compared with Eph. iv. 16.

“Looking, therefore, to their utility, to which of those parts which are deemed more honourable are these inferior?” — editor's note: Cf. 1 Cor. xii. 14–24.
