1 Corinthians 12:18

But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted. But now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. But now God has arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, just as He desired. If each part of the body were the same part, there would be no body. But truly God put all the parts, each one of them, in the body as he wanted them. But now [as things really are], God has placed and arranged the parts in the body, each one of them, just as He willed and saw fit [with the best balance of function]. But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. But now God has appointed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design. But God has put all parts of our body together in the way that he decided is best. But as it is, God arranged each of the parts in the body exactly as he wanted them. But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him]. If 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. But nowe hath God disposed the members euery one of them in the bodie at his owne pleasure. But now God has set every member in the body, as it has pleased him. As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be. But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted. But now God set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He desired. But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him. But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. But at this very time God has arranged the parts, every one of them, in the body just as he wanted to.Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 3:5,11; 12:28;">[xr] But now hath Aloha set all the members severally in the body as he willed.

Contextual Overview

¹²For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the membrs of that one body, being many, are one bodie: so also is Christ. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. ¹² For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. ¹² For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. ¹² A person's body is one thing, but it has many parts. Though there are many parts to a body, all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that also. ¹²For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ. ¹² For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. ¹²For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. ¹²The body is a unit, though it is comprised of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But now hath God set the members,.... The members of a natural body, as they are all made and fashioned by God in the form they be, so they are each of them set by him in the place they are:

everyone of them in the body as it hath pleased him; according to his sovereign will, without consulting any; and each stands in the best situation and position they could be put, and for the greatest service and usefulness to the whole: so God, and not man, hath set every member in the mystical body, the church, in such a place and part of it, as he himself thought fit; some in a higher, others in a lower station, but all for the good of the body; and therefore each member ought to be content with his place, gift, and usefulness, be they what they will; since it is the wise counsel and sovereign pleasure of God, who works all things after the counsel of his own will, that so it should be.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hath God set the members ... - God has formed the body, with its various members, as he saw would best conduce to the harmony and usefulness of all.
