Contextual Overview

¹² For as the body is one, & hath many members, and all the members of one body, though they be many, [yet] are [but] one body: euen so is Christe. ¹³ For by one spirite, are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Iewes or gentiles, whether [we be] bonde or free: and haue all drunke of one spirite. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foote woulde say, because I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body? ¹⁶ And yf the eare woulde say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body [were] an eye, where were then the hearyng? If all [were] hearyng, where were the smellyng? ¹⁸ But nowe hath God set ye members, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased hym. ¹⁹ For yf they were all one member, where were the body? ²⁰ Nowe are there many members, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye can not say vnto ye hande, I haue no neede of thee: Nor, the head agayne to the feete, I haue no neede of you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If the whole body were an eye,.... And nothing else,

where were the hearing? there would be no ear, and so no sense of hearing: and if the whole were hearing: or only consisted of a member capable of the sense of hearing,

where were the smelling? there would be no nose, the organ of smelling, and that sense would be wanting: thus if the church only consisted of ministers of the Gospel, of men of eminent light and knowledge, qualified for the preaching of the word to others, there would be no hearers; and on the other hand, if it only consisted of hearers, of such who only could hear the word to their own advantage, there would be none of a quick understanding, or of a quick smell to discern perverse things, to distinguish truth from error, to discern spirits, and direct the rest of the members to wholesome and savoury food, and preserve them from what would be hurtful and pernicious to them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

If the whole body ... - The idea in this verse is, that all the parts of the body are useful in their proper place, and that it would be as absurd to require or expect that all the members of the church should have the same endowments, as it would be to attempt to make the body “all eye.” If all were the same; if all had the same endowments, important offices which are now secured by the other members would be unknown. All, therefore, are to be satisfied with their allotment; all are to be honored in their appropriate place.
