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.

1 Corinthians 12:14

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if they were all one member,.... As all eye, or all ear, or all hand, or all foot:

where were the body? where would be the body? it would not be a body consisting of such proper and suitable members, as now it is: so if the community of the saints were either all ministers, or all hearers, c. there would be no body, consisting of different persons, to receive any benefit or usefulness from either the church of Christ would not be that uniform, useful, and consistent community it is.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And if all were one member - If there were nothing but an eye, an ear, or a limb, there would be no body The idea which this seems intended to illustrate is, that if there was not variety of talent and endowment in the church, the church could not itself exist. If, for example, there were nothing but apostles, or prophets, or teachers; if there were none but those who spoke with tongues or could interpret them, the church could not exist. A variety of talents and attainments in their proper places is as useful as are the various members of the human body.
